Newton North won four individual titles and one relay at the meet.
For the boys, Sam Arsenault won the long jump (21-9.75, with Ben Kiley taking 3rd at 21-0) and Jared Forman won the mile (4:34.76), while the NN 4x800 team (Ezra Lichtman, Doug Cohen, Justin Keefe, and Foreman) won in 8:39.97. It gives me tremendous pleasure to see Doug Cohen earn an all-star plaque. Cohen, a four-year member of track and cross-country, broke 5:00 for the first time in his last meet of the season against Framingham. He is a great example of how much a person can improve through steady work and commitment to the sport.
For the girls, Emma Kornetsky won the long jump in 16.9.5 (an inch ahead of teammate Amy Ren), and Carolyn Ranti won the 800m in a season-best 2:16.61.
North also has a slew of fine non-winning performances.
Dan Hamilton ran 9:38 to finish 2nd to Weymouth's outstanding sophomore Steve Sallowin in the 2-mile, and North's Jake Gleason, Dan Ranti, and Mike Goldenberg took 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Gleason's time of 10:08.64 is a personal best and qualifies him for the State Div I championships.
Connor Ebbs had a big day in the throws, putting the shot 46' and very nearly winning the discus with a 10-foot PR of 144-7 on his last throw to take the lead in the competition. However, Walpole's Nick Rockwell responded like a champion and won on HIS final throw of 145-9.
Michele Kaufman finished 2nd in the hurdles in 15.93, despite a stumble at the start of the race, and Emily Hutchinson finished 2nd in the high jump with a leap of 5-2, while Lucia Grigoli jumped 5-0. North's 4x400 team (Kornetsky, Ranti, Ariana Tabatabaie and Ari Sanchez) also finished 2nd, running a season's best 4:09.17.
The boys 4x100 team (Isaiah Penn, Ben Kiley, Hao-Kai Wu and Arsenault) was also very impressive, running 44.52 to finish 0.04 behind Milton with the third-best time in the state this year.
(Ben Kiley hands off to Hao-Kai Wu in the 4 x 100 relay)
Emily Hutchinson (high jump, PR 5-2), Michele Kaufman (100-meter hurdles, 15.93 seconds) and the 4x400 of Kornetsky, Ranti, Ariana Tabatabaie and Ari Sanchez (PR 4:09.17) all finished second.
Much praise goes to Weymouth for hosting a great meet!

sadly, I believe no plaques are given for the 4x800.
Jared is correct. :(
Sam also ran a 49.9 anchor leg in the 4x4
tony chen cheered pretty hard...
It's Michele, not Michelle.

"could be wrong here but that looks like lawrence lamisere in the photo"
u are wrong.
thanks jon, i appreciate it
According to the Natick coach Kiley's last jump if measured from takeoff would have been 22'8". Ivan was right to worry about his record, but then he was assuming the Allen Iverson model wouldn't be followed: "We're talking about PRACTICE".
"u are wrong."
oh yeah youre right...i was just looking at the spikes.

unfortunetly for my friend ivan, benjamin kiley still has another year, not only to get faster and improve his jumping technique, but also to think about purchasing the appropriate footwear to give him the ability to achieve the predictions i have made for him.
