Results of NN vs Framingham - April 10

Newton North swept Framingham yesterday, with the girls winning just about every event on the track and the boys outscoring the Flyers by about 40 points. I'm sorry I don't have official results, but here's what I remember (or what caught my attention):

Boys

Cailean Robinson is looking much better. I believe he won the 100 in 11.2. Avery Mitchell (23.0) and Robinson (24.0) went 1-2 in the 200. Mitchell won the 400 easily in about 52s. Alex Gurvitz and Peter Sun went 1-2 in the 800, with Gurvitz coming from behind for the win (both in about 2:15). Seb won the mile in about 4:50, but no one else from either team broke 5:00. Where are all the milers? Dan Hamilton learned his lesson from last week's meet and bided his time for six laps before unleashing a big surge to win the 2M in 10:44. I believe NN went 1-2 in the 300 hurdles with Arsenault (?) winning. Newton also won the 4x100, but lost the 4x400 to a good Framingham team. In field events, David Smith won the shot and discus. Indoor state champion Jordan Maddocks won the HJ for Framingham with a leap of 6-4, and ran 15.5 to win the high hurdles (in his first time running the event!). Is he a legitimate shot for two state championships?

Girls

Jess Barton and Adina Hemley-Bronstein went 1-2 in the 2-Mile without much competition. Lily Brown won the 200. Emma Kornetsky won the 400, with Kat Chiong 2nd. Carolyn Ranti won the 800 in 2:24 and continues to look like a State finalist in the middle distance events. Nora Barnicle won the mile rather easily in about 5:50. Morgan Faer won the high hurdles. I think Michelle Kaufman was second in the 300 hurdles, but I'm not sure about that. Newton won both relays easily. I don't have any of the results of the field events.

Next up for Newton will be a vacation-week meet against Walpole, Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at Newton.

Happy 18th, Jess!
