It has been a season of moments for Sam Arsenault.
The Newton North senior, was injured at the end of the indoor season and reduced the number of meets and events in which he competed during the spring. As the injury healed, there were flashes of the athlete who could take over a meet by winning four events, but mostly he chose his spots to show that he could still bring it.
On Saturday, Arsenault created another such moment. He won the long jump at the state meet with a personal best and the best long jump in Massachusetts this spring, leaping 23-2 1/4.
It was a fitting way to close out an impressive high school career.
Two other seniors ran their last races for North on Saturday, and they will be sorely missed, as they characterized the hard-working, always improving distance crew that qualified for the state meet in XC, and had six qualifiers for the DI track meet this spring. Dan Hamilton ran 9:42.29 to place 17th in one of the deepest state two-miles in recent memory. Jared Forman ran 4:27.43 in the 1-mile, placing 14th. Dan will be doing his running for Rochester next year, and Jarad will be heading to MIT.

Jon,
Put my photo of Sam long jumping on the post. It might be the 23 footer.

Done. Thanks, Henry! Great pictures from a great meet.
Rochester needs another Dan from newton....It seems that they are fresh out of them now. Hopefully he can do more damage than Dan 1.0
