The Newton North Girls Track team took care of business against Braintree on Thursday night, winning eight of nine individual events and swamping the Wamps 65-17 while resting several of their top athletes. This afternoon the Tigers head to Hanover, New Hampshire for the Dartmouth Relays with a legitimate chance to take a run at the team title.
Against Braintree, the girls got off to a fast start with senior Elena Hemler winning the mile (6:14), and sophomores Becca Trayner and Allie Phillips taking 2nd and 3rd. The Tigers then swept the 1000, with Sam Gluck winning in 3:30. Jaya Tripathi won the 600, Meghan Pursley the 300, Emily Denn led a sweep in the 55 hurdles, and Bridget McLaughlin, Jess Fugazzotto, and Pursley swept the dash.
In the field events, Emily Hutchinson and Amy Ren went 1-2 with clearances at 5-1, and Lucia Grigoli took 3rd at 4-11 (THAT is a solid relay team!). Michela Salvucci PR'd in the shot put with a throw of 26-6, and Semira Azadzoi threw 25-10. The versatile Amy Ren also leapt 15-4.75 in the (non-scoring) long jump.
Looking ahead to Dartmouth, North has entered teams in the sprint medley and distance medley Friday night. Most individual events will be on Saturday, and North figures to have good scoring chances with Carla Forbes (55 dash, long and triple jumps), Margo Gillis (1000), Hutchinson, Ren, and Grigoli (HJ), Steph Brown (pole vault), amd Tabatabie (400). The Tigers also have relay squads entered in the 4x200 and 4x800 for Saturday.
