NN Girls Take 2nd at Dartmouth Relays

Carla Forbes won the long jump and triple jump, finished fourth in the 55m dash, and ran on the 2nd-place 4x200 relay to lead Newton North to a strong second-place showing at the Dartmouth Relays on Saturday. The Tigers amassed 58 points, far ahead of third place, but no match for Shenendehowa, which won the team title with 84.

Forbes was the model of consistency in the 55, running 7.49 in the heats, 7.50 in the semis, and 7.50 in the final. Her winning jumps were 17-10.5 and 39-01.25, with the latter only a few inches shy of the meet record.

Emily Hutchinson placed 2nd in the high jump, with a season's best clearance of 5-4. Amy Ren jumped 5-0 and Lucia Grigoli cleared 4-10.

Margo Gillis placed 2nd in the 1000, running 3:03.23, and anchored the fifth-place sprint medley relay team.

Steph Brown cleared 10-0 in the pole vault to take 2nd place.

Looks like Carla Forbes broke the school's indoor long jump record

It would be nice if the Tab had chosen to publish a small article on North's Dartmouth Relay results in addition to the HUGE coverage they give to Newton South sports.

Agreed. Especially considering Forbes's triple was US #3.
