With the temperature pushing 90 degrees in early April, yesterday's opening meet of the outdoor season was like a state meet in June. In general, performances kept pace with the mercury, as Newton North boys and girls each scored impressive victories against Brookline at Downes Field.
For the girls, the Indoor State Champions might be even better outdoors. For one thing, Carla Forbes has both the long and triple jumps to dominate (winning both yesterday in 17-10 and 39-3, respectively). For another, North has a 100m sprinter faster than Forbes (Djaidah Winn 12.8 in her track debut). My goodness.
For the boys, there are gaps, to be sure, but not many. North's indoor domination of the shot put looks like it will extend to the discus as well. Yesterday Conor Ebbs won both, throwing 144-7 in the discus and 50-11 in the shot.
