Newton North came oh-so-close to earning another State Championship trophy, but in the end fell just two points shy of Charlestown in a day-long battle that wasn't over until North's 4x400 relay team crossed the line in fourth.
Still, North could be proud of several outstanding performances that earned the team the runner-up trophy, just a point ahead of Mansfield. Sam Arsenault had another outstanding day on a big stage, running a personal best 39.52 in the 300 hurdles to place second (he was seeded 7th). (Video below)
Sam also added a 3rd in the high jump, and ran a 51 lead off leg in the 4x400 relay. Adam Bao bounced back from a sixth-place in the D1 triple jump, leaping 44-6 to take 2nd, only an inch and a half behind the winner.
Seb Putzeys placed fifth in the 800m, and both the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams placed 4th, giving the team 36 points.
2008 State Meet Results
Congratulations to the North boys on a fine season -- undefeated in dual meets, 2nd at the State Relays, 2nd at Div I, and 2nd at the All-State meet.
