MSTCA Div I STate Relays Results

They won three events (Sprint medley, Distance medley, Shot Put), finished 2nd AND 5th in the 4x50 hurdle relay, and scored in three other events, but in the end the Newton North girls were one point short against Lincoln-Sudbury, which won the Div I State Relays yesterday with 49 points.

Coach Joe Tranchita was pleased with the outstanding effort of the team, especially the underclassmen who handled the pressure of the meet with poise.

In the winning sprint medley, Jess Barton opened a big lead with a 2:21 opening 800, and the team never trailed. Barton handed off to Arie Sanchez (28.2 200), who held the lead for Kat Chiong (28.0 200), before Emma Kornetsky sealed the win with a 61.2 final 400. In the winning distance medley, Carolyn Ranti took the lead from the gun and pulled away from the field with a 3:51 opening 1200. Emma Kornetsky (62) and Kat Chiong (2:27) extended the lead to 50 meters, before Kat handed off to Barton, who was never challenged. In the shot put, Tracy Isman threw over 32 feet for the first time this year, and Lily Brown and Morgan Faer were just under 30 feet as the team recorded an aggregate distance of 93-1 for a convincing win.

Meanwhile, the boys got a second in the 4x200, a fourth in the 4x400 (after the winning team was disqualified for a uniform violation), and sixth in the high jump to score 13 points and tie for 10th place. The Tigers' best hope for a gold medal might have been the shot put, but after three fouls, Marvin Chan didn't have a legal throw and the team was given "No distance."
