A number of Newton North athletes headed up to Hanover, NH, on Friday to compete in the Dartmouth Relays. On Sunday, many of the same athletes were back on the Reggie Lewis Track competing in the Auerbach Freshman/Sophomore Meet. It made for a long weekend, the first of several over the next few weeks.
Dartmouth - Barton, SMR Place 3rd
On Friday night, North's sprint medley relay team finished 3rd with time of 4:24.88. North's distance medley ran 13:50.72 and finished 16th.
On Saturday, individuals competed. In the field events, North's trio of thirty-foot shot putters finished fifth, seventh, and eight in the unseeded section, as follows:
5 Isman, Tracy 9.32m 30-07.00
7 Brown, Lily 9.20m 30-02.25
8 Faer, Morgan 9.13m 29-11.50
(In the boys shot put, David Smith made the trip to Dartmouth and finished 6th with a throw of 52-2.5.)
In the long jump, Arie Sanchez and Laryssa Manigat went beyond 14' and Alex Blenis wasn't far behind in the unseeded section:
6 Sanchez, Arie 14-04.00
7 Manigat, Laryssa 14-02.25
10 Blenis, Alex 13-06.00
Sarah Berkland cleared 4-8 in the HJ. In the 55 hurdles, Vicki Marone ran 9.94 for the fastest North time of the day, with Morgan Faer (10.26), and Michelle Kaufman (10.51) trailing.
In the 55 dash, Latifah Smalls led North with an 8.24. Arie Sanchez ran 8.47 and Kristie Grimes-Mallard ran 8.96. Sally Leung ran 1:52.69 in the 600, while Sam Gluck ran 2:44.18 in the 800.
In the seeded mile, Jess Barton finished third, running 5:07.36, which is, I believe, the best time in a sanctioned meet by a MA girl this winter.
Auerbach - Kornetsky Wins 600, Arsenault 2nd in HJ
Only a sophomore, Emma Kornetsky seems like a veteran. On Sunday, she won the 600m in 1:44.10 and anchored the 4x400 relay (Jaya Tripathi, Sam Gluck, Carolyn Ranti, Kornetsky) to a 10th-place finish with a 63-second split. Jaya also ran the 600, recording a 1:53.79.
Other medalists included Michelle Kaufman in the 55 hurdles, who ran a PR 9.36 (3rd fastest runner of the day) in the semi-finals and then after an interminable delay, came back to run 9.58 for 5th place in the finals. Also running well, Paris Mongo ran 10.12 to place 12th in the semis. Carolyn Ranti finished 4th in the mile run, with a PR 5:29.24. Adina Hemley-Bronstein was 13th in 5:47.61.
In the 1000, Nora Barnicle just missed a medal, placing 7th in 3:15.02, while Sam Gluck ran 3:27.49. In the 2-mile, Franca Godenzi ran 12:36.56, and Susannah Gleason ran 12:44.40, as the pair finished 11th and 15th overall. Arie Sanchez ran 7.93 in the her first heat, and 7.98 in her semi of the 55 (12th best). Latifah Smalls ran 8.31 in her heat. Sanchez also long-jumped 13-7.75, placing 10th.
The boys team sent only a few athletes to the Auerbach meet, but got a medal-winning performance from Sam Arsenault, who placed 2nd in the high jump with a seasons-best 6-1. Other North runners included Ethan Goldman, who ran 10.17 in his heat, and 9.97 in his semi of the 55 hurdles, Alon Soran who ran 40.94 in the 300, Greg Cohan who PR'd in the 1000 with a 2:58.62, and Jake Gleason, who continued his steady improvement in the 2-mile, running 11:23.76 for 28th (6th fastest freshman!).
This week, North is in action against Braintree on Thursday, Jan. 11, and then runs at the Div. I State Relays on Sunday, Jan 14.

You mixed up Gluck (2 Mile) and Godenzi (1000).
So I did. My apologies.
no, actually the results messed them up Godenzi was in the 2 mile and Gluck was in the 1000
Its not just the results. The seed sheets list Gluck in the 2 Mile and Godenzi in the 1000. Maybe coach entered them in the wrong events?
