Girls DMR Sets Meet Record at McIntyre Relays

The Newton North girls DMR team of Carolyn Ranti (1200), Emma Kornetsky (400), Kat Chiong (800), and Jess Barton (1600) ran to victory and a meet and school record at the Bob McIntyre Elite Relays on Sunday, clocking 12:13.69 to smash the old record by 2.5 seconds. Barton's anchor leg of 4:59 brought the Tigers to the finish almost a full lap ahead of second-place Westerly, RI. The same four runners teamed up to run another outstanding race in the 4x800, running 9:28.48 to place second behind Lincoln-Sudbury (9:18.21).

North's girls shot put relay placed 8th.

North Boys Win 4x50

The Newton North boys sprint team of Gordan Forbes, Troy Peterson, Hymlaire Lamisere, and Ryan McCarthy won the 4x50m shuttle relay in 22.23, 0.3 off the meet record set by Newton North last year. In the 4x200, Avery Mitchell, Lamisere, Abasu Watanabe, and Adam Bao combined to run 1:34.45, good enough for sixth overall. In the 4x400, Alex Lee joined Bao, Watanabe, and Mitchell to run 3:31.33 for 8th.

North's long jump relay placed fourth (58-10), while the high jump was 10th (17-0).

Thanks for the correction, Kat, and congratulations on your team's fine performances!

I hadn't realized that the meet record was set by a NH team:

12:16.16 1/27/2002 CENTRAL, MANC. (NH)

It makes your run even more impressive.
