NN Girls Win South Shore Principals Meet

Another Saturday, another dominating performance by the NN Girls Track & Field team, as they roll through the spring schedule on their way to the Class and State meets.

Submitting a full-team effort at the South Shore Principal's meet in Norwell yesterday, the Tigers placed in all but two events, won all three relays, and racked up 141 points -- more than the next three teams combined.

On the track, Margo Gillis won the 800m in 2:15.70, with freshman Meghan Bellerose taking 4th in a personal best 2:20.23. Maddie Nadeau placed 2nd in the 400 (60.54) with Ariana Tabatabaie 4th (60.77). D'jaidah Wynn took 2nd in the 200 (26.48). Kayla Wong placed 3rd in the 100m hurdles (15.58), while Amy Ren placed 4th in the 400 hurdles (67.90). In the two-mile, Susannah Gleason and Sarah Perlo finished 4th and 5th in 12:14 and 12:24, respectively.

In the field events, Carla Forbes won the long and triple jumps (17-9 and 39-6.75). Emily Hutchinson and Lucia Grigoli took 2nd and 3rd in the high jump. In the discus, Monet Lowe (102-9), Ellen Goldberg (101-0), and Tatiana Froehlich (99-8) placed 3rd, 4th, and 6th. In the shot put, Lowe took 3rd with a mark of 34-11.

The NN boys sent only their throwers to the South Shore meet.

Conor Ebbs won the discus with a throw of 153-0, while sophomore Swardick Mayanja placed 4th at 136-05.

In the shot put, Ebbs (48-9) and Mayanja (47-7) finished 2nd and 3rd, as Newton had four of the top seven and five of the top ten throwers. Will Mayanja be North's next 50-foot thrower, or will Ryan Donovan or Young Guang get there first? And with freshman Leslie Witham throwing 42-2, it looks like the future of Toger shot-putting is secure.
