We all knew they were good, but 59 points at the State Relays?!

The Tigers won half of all the events contested, and four of the seven running events, on their way to scoring an incredible and unassailable 59 points, or 12 points more than they scored to win in 2011, and 23 better than runner-up Andover. (Bay State rival Weymouth also had a strong meet, finishing 3rd with 30 points.)

The NN girls finished 4th in the 4x800 (9:56.01), then won the sprint medley (4:15.05), shuttle hurdle relay (29.11, all-class record), shuttle dash relay (24.52, all-class record), and 4 x 400 (4:03.74). In the field events, they won the long jump with a meet record 15.04m (49-04.25), and tied for 3rd in the high jump with a combined 4.27 (14-00). The Tigers very nearly got more, finishing just out of the points (7th) in the shot put.
