Newton North's boys indoor track team placed in the top four in five separate events, earning a runner-up finish in the D1 State Relays Saturday.
North showed balance, getting 14 points from the sprint relays, 12 from the mid and long medley relays, and 10 from the field events.
Their lone first place came in the shot put relay, where the Tigers threw for a combined 42.91m (140-09.5) to win by four feet.
North also placed 4th in the 4x50 (22.61), 2nd in the 4x200 (1:33.24), 3rd in the sprint medley (3:40.21), and 3rd in the distance medley (10:43.92). The Tigers also placed just out of the scoring in the high jump relay, missing 4th place by a mere 1.5 inches.
Heading into the final event, North was tied with Lowell for the lead in points. Unfortunately for North, they had used their runners elsewhere and didn't have a team entered. Having only to place in the top six, Lowell finished 4th, earning the points that brought the school its first-ever Relays State Championship. Newton hung on for second, two points ahead of Acton-Boxborough.

Great job by NN but it has to kill Coach Blackburn that they couldn't put together a 4 x 4 for this meet. I know it's his favorite and they've had great ones over the years.
