Tiger Boys Win 60-26
Sam Arsenault is NN's top track athlete, but Ben Kiley scored more points on Thursday night as the talented sophomore won two events and finished second in another, setting the tone for North's dominating 60-26 victory over Brookline. The Tigers won all but one individual events, and had the fastest time of the season for any Bay State team in the 4x400 relay.
Kiley won the 300 with a PR 37.54, won the 55 dash in 6.87, and cleared 5-7 in the high to take second behind Arsenault. In addition to winning the high jump, Arsenault edged Brookline's Joel Parent in a terrific race to win the 55 hurdles, and anchored the winning relay.
The meets started out well for the Warriors as freshman Chernet Sisay (4:49.65) won a scintillating mile, just ahead of North's Dan Ranti (4:49.98), with Greg Cohan a few steps back (4:52.91). Brookline's lead was short-lived, however, as Ezra Lichtmann won the 1000 by nearly a straightaway in a PR 2:43.61 (Justin Keefe ran a PR 2:53.13 to narrowly miss 3rd).
After that, everything seemed to go the Tigers' way. Niel Fulwiler (1:28.72) won the 600 over Ryan Hardiman, with Alon Soran (1:32.62) third. Kiley got his win in the 300 with Isaiah Penn (38.67) third, and Dan Hamilton won the 2-mile in 10:04, the fastest time of the night. In the field events, North went 1-2 in the high jump and swept the shot put, as the Mike Bower Athletic Club had three throwers over 40 feet in the same meet for the first time this season, led by freshman Charles Pappas (41-00.5).
Tiger Girls Cruise 68-18
Michele Kaufman continued to pile up victories, winning the 55 hurdles (9.03), 55 dash (7.81), and shot put (27-00.25!) in the Tigers easy victory over Brookline Thursday. Kaufman also had a leap of 15-11.5 in the (non-scoring) long jump.
Sophomores Amy Ren and Emily Hutchinson tied for first in the high jump, as each equaled their seasons-best jumps of 5-1. With freshman Lucia Grigoli clearing 4-9, the Tigers have a very respectable team in place for the State Relays.
Nora Barnicle ran a season's best 5:39.68 to win the mile, with Elena Hemler (5:57.92) taking second. Margo Gillis dropped down from the 2-mile to the 1000 and ran an outstanding time of 3:06.24 for the win. Carolyn Ranti ran a PR 1:42.28, and had the fastest time of the night while leading North to a sweep in that event.
North also swept the 300 with a trio of underclassmen. Sophomore Evelyn Hurvitz (46.59) won, followed by fellow soph Meaghan Pursley (46.68), and freshman Steph Brown (47.59).
Franca Godenzi took 2nd in the 2-mile (13:06), and North swept both sprints and the relay.
Both the boys and the girls will face their toughest tests next week as North takes on Weymouth.

to give sarah perlo (freshman) credit, she would have gotten 2nd in the 2 mile in about 12:30 if mr. martin had not told her she had one lap to go when she really had 2 laps to go.. she stopped for about 20-30 seconds and then had to keep running.
