Winterfest Results

Newton North boys were in action Saturday at the MSTCA's Winterfest meet at Reggie.

The performance of the day for the Tigers was turned in by Tony Chen in the 55 hurdles. Tony ran a strong 8.24 in the heats, and then a PR 8.05 in the finals to finish 2nd. Congrats, TC!

In the 1000, Ezra Lichtmann ran a PR (2:45.22) to finish 9th with a time that qualifies him for the Div I championships. Greg Cohan did a nice job in the mile, running 4:53.75 (also a PR?), while Dan Ranti ran 4:59.99. That is SO much better than running 5:00.00.

In the 600, Niel Fulwiler broke 1:30 for the first time, running 1:28.99 in the 600m to finish 12th. In the 300, freshman Young Guang ran 41.18.

Dan Hamilton finished 7th in the 2-mile, running 10:07.55. Mike Weinfeld broke 11:00 for the first time indoors, running 10:57.55, and Sam Fogel was not far behind in 11:09.07.

In the shot, sophomore Ryan Donovan was 13th with a throw of 40-05 to lead the NN throwers.

Jon:
Isn't the qualifying time for the boys 1000m 2:44.74, or am I missing something? How are qualifying times determined?

You are right. I went back to the MIAA winter tournament format:

...and there it is in black and white: 2:44.74. Sorry for the mistake, and now I have to figure out why I thought it was 2:45.74.

Anyway, I have confidence that Ezra will get there!

They changed the qualifying time this year to 2:44.75, but it was 2:45/2:46 last year, so maybe that's why?
