NN Girls 2nd at Dartmouth Relays

A slew of outstanding individual performances and relays nearly brought Newton North's girls another Dartmouth Relays title. The Tigers finished with 60 points, tied with La Salle Academy (RI) and a mere two points behind Colonie HS (NY).

Carla Forbes had an incredible meet, even by her standards. The Newton North junior won both the long jump and the triple jump, finished 3rd in the 55 dash, and ran on two scoring relays, including the winning 4x200 relay. In the triple jump, Forbes mark of 40-10 obliterated a 15-year-old meet record by nearly a foot and a half. In the long jump, her mark of 19-4 won by 8 inches.

Steph Brown had the other individual win for the Tigers, Brown was the only competitor to clear 11-6 in the pole vault, earning 10 points for the victory.

Other NN athletes scoring points were Meghan Bellerose who placed 3rd in the 800m run in 2:22.27, and Kayla Wong who ran 8.58 in the finals of the 55 hurdles to nail down 5th place.

In addition to the winning 4x200 team (1:48.29), NN's sprint medley of Wong, Forbes, Madi Nadeau, and Bellerose, placed 3rd (4:17.13), and their 4x800 team (Maggie Heffernan, Bellerose, Miller McCarthy-Tuohy, and Evie Heffernan) finished 8th in 10:06.79.
