2009 Outdoor Debut: Tigers Sweep Dedham

Isaiah Penn won three events, and Ethan Goldman set a school record (65.9h) in the 400m hurdles as the Newton North boys defeated Dedham yesterday. According to the Daily News tribune (link below), other impressive performances included Niel Fulwiler throwing 144' in the javelin, and Connor Ebbs throwing 129 in the discus -- outstanding for the first meet.

North's distance runners were also in fine form, with Dan Hamilton winning the 2M, Jarad Forman winning the mile, and Ezra Lichtman taking the 800.

North's girls also won easily. Performances that stand out in my mind include Emily Denn in the 100 hurdles (17.1) and Maggie Heffernan in the mile (5:43).

Hannah Lloyd, freshman, in a hiatus from fall and winter sports (field hockey/downhill skiing) decided two weeks late to pick up outdoor track and field. (That story sounds familiar...).

She opened with the 800 meter run (the shortest distance she could run as a distance runner.) Hannah finished around 3 minutes (I think). She said she MUST have run the race wrong- she thinks she got anxious in the first lap because the second lap she felt like her arms were like bricks. I suggested from my limited experience in the distance that it wasn't her- it was the unforgiving distance.
