Forbes, NN Girls Win MSTCA Pentathlon Title

On Tuesday, Carla Forbes added another championship to her growing resume of track and field achievements, winning the MSTCA Pentathlon with a total of 3072 points, over 100 more than her nearest pursuer, Wellesley's Karla Ganley. Forbes, along with Amy Ren and Lucia Grigoli, also helped Newton North to the top team score (combined score of three competitors).

Forbes held her own in the 55 hurdles (8.94) and high jump (1.47m or 4-9.75), and then built an insurmountable lead in the long jump (5.34m, 17-6.25) and shot put (27-5.25). She clinched the title with more-than-respectable 2:37 800m in the final event.

Nick Fofana was 20th in boys' pentathlon. Not bad for a freshman.
