Newton tops Wellesley – Kayla sprints to 50 free personal best

Newton move to 2-0 with a 95-91 win over Wellesley Friday in their first meet in the new Newton North pool. Kayla, coming off a weekend strep throat infection, swam the fastest 50 yard freestyle of her career. She placed 3rd with a 27.83 automatic time. She also placed 5th in 100fr (1:04.83) and 2nd in 4×100 free relay. Here 4x200fr relay was DQed due to 1st swimmer going 100yards instead of 50. She contributed 4 individual points and 4 relay points to the team’s big win.

By comparison, Newton lost the same meet last year 92-94. She swam a 28.49 PR in the 50fr and a 1:06.44 PR in the 100fr in that meet.
