Forbes, NN Girls Shine at Frosh-Soph Meet

A steady light snow fell on Boston, but it wasn't nearly enough to think about postponing the MSTCA Freshman-Sophomore meet (Large Schools), held at the Reggie Lewis Center Saturday.

The Newton North girls had an impressive showing. Freshman Carla Forbes won the 55 dash and long jump (17-1.25 and ran on NN's winning 4x200 relay team. Kayla Wong had a nice series of races in the 55 Hurdles, running 9.02 in the heats, and then taking 3rd in the final with a time of 9.08. Lucia Grigoli cleared 5-0 to place 3rd in the high jump.
