NN Girls Take MSTCA Team Pentathlon Title(s)

The State Relays championship was obviously a bigger deal, but Newton North's girls added another piece of hardware to the trophy case on Sunday, dominating the MSTCA team pentathlon with 3436 points, one of the highest totals ever scored in the event. For good measure, North's freshman-sophomore team also won its division with a point total that would have placed them fourth overall.

Indeed, had the Tigers chosen to use Carla Forbes on the their frosh-soph team, the youngsters would have won the team title outright, relegating their big sister teammates to second. Yikes.

In the upper division, North's team was Amy Ren (9.24 in the 55 hurdles), Semira Azadoi (26-5.5 in the shot put), Carla Forbes (a huge 18-7 in the long jump!), Emily Hutchinson (5-1 in the high jump), and Margo Gillis (an impressive solo 2:17.06 in the 800). That gave North a total of 3436, far ahead of Bay State rival Milton's 3171.

In the Fr-So division, the team consisted of Kayla Wong (9.14), Michela Salucci (27-8), Steph Brown (15-5.5), Lucia Grigoli (4-10.5), and Maggie Heffernan (2:27.98).
The Tigers scored 3001 points, well ahead of Brockton for the win.
