Ben Kiley ran and jumped like a champion, Mike Bower's shot putters had the longest throws of the night, and Newton North's 4x400 relay team ran the fastest time in the league this season as the Tigers stepped it up against a tough Framingham team to down the Flyers Thursday night at Reggie.
Kiley won three events with three season's bests. He won the HJ with a leap of 6-0, ran 36.35 (one of the top five times in the state this season) to best Framingham's Bolander Lewis in the 300, and then edged Richard Johnson by 0.04 to win the 55 in 6.82.
But it was a team effort for the Tigers, who upped their record to 3-0. Dan Ranti ran a great time of 4:38.18 to take second in the mile to Framingham's surprising sophomore Ben Groleau, who ran 4:37.07. Justin Keefe won the 1000 in 2:45.06, with Ezra Lichtman taking 2nd in 2:49 (was Ezra ill?). Isaiah Penn won the 600 in 1:28.79. Freshman Ryan Lucken took 3rd in the 300 in 38.29. Jake Gleason won the 2-Mile in 10:18.
And then there was the shot put crew, who took the top four spots overall, led by Connor Ebbs (48-11.25), with sophomore Young Guang (45-7) taking second.
It was all over when it came to the relay, but North cruised to the win in 3:34.82, the league's best mark this season, nearly half a lap ahead of the Flyers. Final score 56-30, North, and next up: Brookline.
Newton North's girls had many outstanding performances on the way to a 59-27 victory over the Lady Flyers.
Emily Hutchinson cleared 5-4 in the high jump to equal the league's best mark.
Margo Gillis had the fastest time of the night in the 1000, running to a solo 3:03.49.
Carla Forbes continued her impressive season, with an impressive 43.26 in the 300 (I believe her first time running that event), with Steph Brown 2nd in 44.84. Forbes also won a close victory in the 55 dash in 7.50 and won the (non-scoring) long jump with a mark of 17-0.
Amy Ren (9.08) and Kayla Wong (9.16) led a North sweep in the hurdles.
Susanna Gleason (13:00) and Devika Banerjee (13:06) took 1-2 in the 2-Mile.

Ezra had to run in the 4x400, so when the Tigers knew they had 1,2 in the 1000, he decided to shut it down and save it for the relay. He ran a very well in the relay as well, not sure what the actual time was, but he was step for step with sollowin. I think he ran the second fastest leg.
Thanks for the info, and I'm glad to hear Ezra was just saving something for the relay.
Good meet summary Jon. I wanted to see what Ezra could do in the relay. His 53.4 was only bettered by Penn's 51.2. So Doyle, Wu, and Soran will have to fight for the other 2 spots.
Conor is spelled with one n
I have a modest proposal regarding my spelling mistakes. If you feel the need to correct them, email me at jwwaldron@comcast.net, and I'll correct them -- quietly, with no fuss. Comments that are nothing more than spelling corrections are really tedious.
I also want to mention that I generally try to go by what is published. In this case, I wrote "Connor" because that's the way his name appears on CoolRunning.
