Lucken, Guang Lead NN Over Brookline

In a meet that was closer than the score, Newton North's boys mostly neutralized Brookline's distance strength, and pulled away in the sprints and field events to defeat the Warriors 61.3 to 31.6.

Senior Justin Keefe and Sophomore Gabe Montague had big (and close) wins in the 1M and 1000, respectively, to get the Tigers off to a solid start. The teams traded 1-2 finishes in the 600 and 300, before heading into the sprints, where North had a decided edge.

As expected, Ryan Lucken won both the 300 and 55, with North sweeping there. Senior Young Guang had a big day, winning the 55 hurdles and the shot put (what a double!) and taking 3rd in the 55 dash. Shawn Seamans also had a key role in the win, as he won the long jump and placed 2nd in the 300.

North mostly dominated the field events, at least as far as the points were concerned. The Tigers swept the shot put, went 1-2 in the high jump with Hansen Yang winning, and 1-3 in the long jump.

As for the girls, in their first meet since the Dartmouth Relays, they won every running event, and swept all but three events (Brookline won the high jump, got a 2nd in the 2-mile, and a 3rd in the shot put) to hold the Warriors to single digits in an 86-9 win.

Kayla Wong (55 hurdles and LJ) and Carla Forbes (55 dash and 300) were double winners. Evie Heffernan (1M), Miller McCarthy-Tuohy (1000), Meghan Bellerose (600), Becca Trayner (2M), and Michaela Salvucci (SP) all won their events.
