NN Girls Win 4x800, 4x50 hurdles at McIntyre Relays

The Bob McIntyre "Elite" Relays are not a team-scored event, but Newton North's girls gave an impressive team performance on Sunday, winning the the 4x800m and 4x50 hurdles relays, and placing in the high jump and long jump relays.

In the 4x800, the Tiger quartet of Sam Gluck, Emma Kornetsky, Carolyn Ranti, and Margo Gillis ran 9:29.83, the fastest time in the state this season. The Daily News Tribune reports that Gillis closed in 2:16, to open up a gap of more than a straightaway on Hopkinton and Framingham.

In the 4x50 hurdle relay, Amy Ren, Emily Denn, Jen Liu, and Michelle Kaufman ran 29.93 in the heats, and then set a school record 29.78 in the finals to win by a half second over Attleboro.

The high jump relay (Emily Hutchinson, Amy Ren, Lucia Grigoli) finished 2nd with a combined height of 4.45m (14-7.25), and the long jump relay (Ren, Koretsky, and Kaufman) finished fourth with a combined distance of 13.74m (45-1).
