NN Girls at Dartmouth Relays

Newton North's girls indoor track team made the trip up to Hanover to compete in the Dartmouth Relays, Saturday.

Ari Sanchez (8.13), Latifah Smalls (8.19), and Steph Brown (8.36) competed in the 55 dash heats, but didn't advance to the next round.

In the 400, Emma Kornetsky (63.84, 12th overall) and Jaya Tripathi (66.84) both won their heats. Jen Liu (69.38) was 3rd in hers.

Carolyn Ranti placed 11th in the 800 (2:25.42), with Nora Barnicle (2:36.59) and Miller Tuohy (2:39.91) also competing. Caeden Brynie ran the 1000 (3:34.15).

Susannah Gleason was NN's top finisher in the mile, running a season's best 5:49.54 (5:45.24 is the qualifying time for the MIAA Div I championship meet). Elena Hemler (6:09.99) and Sophie Duncan (6:22.52) also ran.

Freshman Sarah Perlo finished 12th in the morning section of the 2-mile, running 12:44.96. Franca Godenzi ran 13:22.74. In the championship section, Margo Gillis shows up as a DNF in the results. I don't know the story there.

Michelle Kaufman had the fourth fastest time in the heats of the 55 hurdles (8.99), but struggled in the semi-finals (9.19) and failed to advance. Amy Ren (9.38) and Emily Denn (9.56) also ran in the heats. Ren had her best performance in the high jump, where she cleared a PR 5-2 on her final attempt to finish 10th. Emily Hutchinson jumped 4-10.

In the long jump, Kaufman had a leap of 16-3.75 to finish 6th (NN's lone point of the day), while Ren jumped 15-3, and Emma Kornetsky jumped 14-11.25.

mr. martin pulled margo out of the race because her knee has been bothering her. she ran a strong, fast first mile though.

Hi Franca - thanks for the info. I hope Margo's injury is not serious.

no problem Jon. the coaches are being cautious in terms of her racing and tracing, but i think unless she makes it worse playing soccer, she should be better soon.
