NN Boys Begin New Decade With Win

On Thursday, the Newton North Boys Indoor Track team improved it's record in the new decade (assuming you have become tired of correcting people and have grudgingly accepted that it's ok to act as though the decade begins on Jan 1, 2010) to 1-0 with a 73-12 thrashing of Braintree. As other have pointed out, the boys have not lost an indoor dual meet this century, although sterner tests lie ahead.

Highlights of yesterday's meet include Ben Kiley's two wins in the 55 and 300, Justin Keefe's PR 4:45.34 in the mile, Ezra Lichtman's PR (I think) 2:41.09 in the 1000, and Dan Ranti and Jake Gleason's sub 10:10 clockings in the deuce (earning state meet qualifying times). Swardick Mayanja also won the shot put, and North took the 4x400 relay with the second fastest time of the night.
