Newton North's human highlight film, Carla Forbes, long jumped 19-3.5 at the Weston Twilight Invitational last night, one of several winning performances for the Tigers under ideal conditions. Forbes also won the triple jump with a leap of 40-4.25. Amy Ren also had a nice double, going 17-1 in the long jump and 35-2 in the triple.
Steph Brown won the pole vault by clearing 11-0 (setting or equaling her personal best, I believe). Margo Gillis won the mile in 5:09.79, and anchored North's 4x800 team (above, with Newton South - photo H. Finch) to victory in 9:55.08.
Tatiana Froelich placed 4th in the discus with a mark of 104-7, followed closely by Monet Lowe (100-5) and Ellen Goldberg (96-0). Lowe took 3rd in the shot put with a mark of 35-8.
I don't want to jinx them, but the NN girls have one of the best teams for the State Relays I have ever seen.
The NN boys also had some great performances. Isaiah Penn ran a personal best 50.12 in the 400m to take 2nd to Andover's Mark Vetere.
In the distance events, Jake Gleason (9:42.96) and Dan Ranti (9:45.63) ran superb races in the 2-Mile to take 2nd and 3rd (see updated all-decade list, below). Ezra Lichtman took 3rd in the mile in 4:28.45.
Charles (or Conor) Ebbs also had a great day, winning the shot put with a throw of 50-11.25, and placing 2nd in the discus with a personal best 150-8.

Very nice results. The girls' 4x100 ran a nice time too. Isaiah placed out of the slowest heat. Milton dual results?
