On Tuesday April 28, North's boys and girls track teams swept Braintree, and yesterday - in a make-up meet from last week -- both teams won easily at Norwood, boosting their records to 5-0. It's a busy week for the Tigers, as several athletes will compete again Saturday at the Weston Twilight Invitational.
Boys Beat Norwood 95-37
Looking at the boys results from the Norwood meet on Athletics.net, its the performance of the distance runners that stands out.
In the 800, Jared Forman and Ezra Lichtmann both ran personal bests -- 2:04.4 and 2:04.6 -- in what is turning into a great intra-team rivalry that is benefiting both runners. In the mile, Dan Hamilton ("fresh" off his 20-quarters workout) ran a big PR 4:32.4 in the mile, with Michael Goldenberg second in 4:37.3.
And in the 2-mile, where Hamilton and Goldenberg usually make their living, Dan Ranti and Jake Gleason ran 10:17 and 10:26, respectively.
Meanwhile, Ryan Donovan had a very nice 44-1 in the shot put (PR?), and Swardic Mayanja won the discus (111').
Troy Peterson (12.0) led an NN sweep in the 100, while Ben Kiley won the 200 (24.1), high jump (5-3), and long jump (18-7). Isaiah Penn won the 400 (54.0) North also took both relays, for a final score of 95 points.
North Girls Defeat Norwood 98-33
The girls used the meet as a chance to move runners around a bit, rest some for the Weston meet, and give others a chance to tune up.
Emily Hutchinson won the javelin (88-5, PR), and took the high jump at 5-1.
Nora Barnicle led an NN sweep in the 2-mile (with Devika Banerjee second and Caden Brynee 3rd). Maggie Heffernan won the mile with Elena Hemler second, and Sam Gluck, Shoshana Kruskal, and Camilla Jackson swept the 800. Emma Kornetsky and Jaya Tripathi went 1-2 in the 400.
Michele Kaufman won the triple jump and finished second in both the high hurdles and long jump. Amy Ren won the long jump, and Tatiana Froehlich won the discus
Lucia Grigoli was second in the high jump with a PR leap of 4-11.

John, our boys team has no rivalries-- just guys trying to help each other break their PRs.
Hey Jared, thanks for the comment.
The way I see it, a rivalry can be exactly what you describe -- trying to run your best to help your teammates run their best. I understand that the term "rival" can carry a negative connotation, but that's not the sense in which I meant it.
I never think of rival as a negative connotation - i always think rivals are the ones that push you to do your best. It's the essence of good and fair competition. Cartainly the way I view the rivalry with the Newton North team.
