Tigers Wrap Up Undefeated Seasons

It's official. The Newton North Boys and Girls won their final meets yesterday at Framingham to record matching undefeated seasons. For the boys, it was their 11th straight unbeaten season. The girls won their 19th league title in the last 21 years. Congratulations to both teams on an outstanding dual-meet season!

The final score of the girls meet was 102-34, and Framingham is not a bad team! Highlights for the girls included a double win for Emma Kornetsky in the 400 (61.5) and the long jump (PR 16-10). Whoa. If I'm not mistaken, this is Emma's first season long jumping. All of a sudden she's in state meet territory.

Michelle Kaufman won two events, the 100 (12.6) and 300 hurdles (51.9), and there were many other multiple scorers for North. Perhaps the most surprising result of the day was that Framingham junior Camille Murphy took first in the mile ahead of North junior Carolyn Ranti. Murphy's time of 5:17.2 is the fastest in the BSC this year. In another exciting distance race, this time involving freshmen, North's Margo Gillis outkicked Framingham's Sarah Bowhill 11:45 to 11:52 to win the 2-Mile.

The score of the boys meet was 98-38, with Newton North's athletes continuing to set season-best marks. Sam Arsenault won a hard-fought 300 hurdles and was pushed to a BSC best time of 40.9. Sam also won the long jump and high jump. Adam Bao won the triple jump by an inch (41-1) and 400 by a tench of second (52.3), while Hymlaire Lamisere ran 10.9 in the 100, which is also a BSC best for the year.

Alex Maclean won the shot (46-1), Steve Long the discus (128-8), and Ben Klein the javelin (132-0).

Newton North swept the mile, with Jarad Forman winning in 4:46, just ahead of freshman Ezra Lichtmann (4:46.9). Dan Hamilton led another Toger sweep of the the 2- mile in 10:21, with Charlie Krasnow running a PR 10:41.8.

Despite published reports to the contrary, Camille Murphy's fine time of 5:17.2 is not the fastest in the BSC this season. According to the weekly "Best Performances" list received by the coaches, Natick's Becca White has the fastest time at 5:15.0.

Does Dan Hamilton ever get sick of the 2 mile?

I have Becca White's BSC mile time at 5:17.7. I may be wrong, but that's what my best performances list says.

Sam-
Sure I get sick of the 2 mile, usually about five laps in...

I ran 10:21 by the way, not 31.

Last week's list (5/6/08) had White with a 5:15.0.
