NN Boys Big Winners at Winterfest

Sam Arsenault won two events and anchored a winning relay, Seb Putzeys won the mile, and Steven Long won the shot put as Newton North made a big impact at the Winterfest meet Saturday.

Arsenault is turning out to be the BMAR (Big Man at Reggie), as he won the 55 hurdles in 8.11 (after running 8.18 in the prelims). Tony Chen ran what I believe is a PR 8.61 to take 5th in the finals. Arsenault also won the high jump by half a foot, leaping 6-4.

After clocking an impressive 4:30 on Thursday, Seb Putzeys lowered that time by two seconds to win the mile in 4:28.60. Dan Hamilton ran 10:13.70 to finish second in the two-mile and close in on a state meet qualifying time (10:08.24, in case you were wondering).

Steven Long won the shot put with a heave of 47-9, as he does his part to continue the recent tradition of great Newton shot putters (David Bell, Matt Frankel, Kevin Chan, David Smith...)

And finally, Newton North won the 4x400 relay in a good early season time of 3:34.33.




The Newton North girls didn't have many entrants, but Emma Kornetsky ran a strong 600 to take second in 1:42.04 (slicing two seconds off her time from Thursday), and Paris Mongo ran 9.54 to finish 7th in the finals of the 55 hurdles. Bonny Guang also placed 7th in the shot put in 29-7.25.

Don't forget Marvin Chan. 51-3 isn't peanuts.
