The Newton North girls ran a state meet record in the 4x800 relay, and the Newton North boys continued to be untouchable in the 4x400 relay. Jess Barton battled heat and humidity to take 4th in the 2M. Avery Mitchell ran brilliantly to take second in the 400 while flirting with a sub 49, and Cailean Robinson was the model of consistency running identical times in the prelims and finals of the 100, where he finished second. David Smith finished second in the shot put, and also scored in the discus.
At the end of the day, the Newton North boys had scored 38 points, which clinched second-place and the runner-up trophy (although the pole vault will be contested Monday, no team can catch the Tigers).
Running events got underway with the girls 2M. Jess Barton, owner of the second-fastest time in the state looked good through about five laps, but faded to fourth in the intense heat -- it was close to 90 degrees on the track, and Jess doesn't much care for the heat.
In the boys 400, Avery Mitchell raced to a personal best 49.01 to take second behind Lexington's Meikle Paschal.
Cailean Robinson ran 11.13 in the 100 prelims, and duplicated that time into a slight headwind in the finals to take second.
Mitchell, Robinson, Hylaire Lamisere, and Gordon Forbes teamed up to run 42.55 to win the Boys 4x400 Relay.
In the girls 4x800, Emma Kornetsky opened with a 2:19.9 leg and a share of the lead. Kornetsky handed off to Kat Chiong, who ran the best 800 of her life - 2:20.1 in a relentless display of speed that opened up a 25m lead on the pack. Jess Barton took the baton and proceeded to absolutely bury the field, running 2:19. Carolyn Ranti knew what to do and scorched a16th. 63-second first lap and the race was over. Ranti brought the baton around in 2:15, and the girls set a state meet record, running 9:15.13.
In the field events, David Smith fell short of repeating as shot put champion, but did battle for second place, throwing 54-10.25. Smith also scored in the discus, placing 5th with a throw of 147-8. Hester Breen also competed in the discus, throwing 99-4 for 16th.
