North Sweeps Braintree

Delayed a day because of Tuesday's rain, Newton North made another long trip South on Rt. 128 Wednesday to sweep Braintree. The Tiger boys won twelve individual events and outscored the Wamps 105 to 31. The girls were only slightly less dominant, winning both relays and eight individual events to win by a score of 90-46. Both teams are now 5-0 with only Needham and Framingham standing in the way of undefeated seasons.

For the boys, Adam Bao won three individual events (400, long jump, triple jump) and ran the 3rd leg of the winning 4x400 relay. Sam Arsenault (high jump, 300m hurdles) and Steve Long (shot put, discus) won two events each. Hymlaire Lamisere (100), Ivan Kostadinov (200), Seb Putzeys (800), Dan Hamilton (2-Mile), and Ben Klein (Jav) all won their events.

For the girls, Michelle Kaufman had her usual busy day at the office, winning two events (100, 300 hurdles) and placing second in two others (long jump and triple jump). Other winners for North included Vicki Marone (long jump), Nora Barnicle (800), Carolyn Ranti (mile), Franca Godenzi (2-Mile), Paris Mongo (discus), and Bonny Guang (shot put).

Many of the Tigers will compete at the Weston Twilight Meet on Saturday night. Next Tuesday, May 6, the Tigers continue their Bay State road trip, competing at Needham.
