Newton North earned 2nd place honors at the 2016 MIAA Division 1 Indoor Track Championships (results, photos, Newton Tab, Boston Globe, ).   Although the meet ran for over 4 hours,  Jared events came in the last 46 minutes.  At 1:06pm Jared took his first long jump, earning a mark that would advance him to finals and state open, and then ran to the 4x200m start line, splitting a PR 22.42 to help North to a 2nd for 8 points (video).
He returned to long jump pit to post a 20′ 10″ jump that would be good for 4th place and 6 points. Â He headed to gym to sign in for 4x400m. Â At 1:50 he returned to the track to take the 1st jump of the long jump finals and then sprinted to starting line where the gun fired for the 4x400m 90 seconds later. Â The North team raced Andover to a photo-finish MA#1 win in 3:26.09 (video) besting 210 other schools in state this season, for another 10 points.
In all Jared contributed to 22 of Newton North’s 44 points (team scores).
Great to have Luca and family in the stands along with Nanny and Papa!

Nice show Jared!
Have to start calling him shoeless Luca
Guess he might be a shoeless track star like his cousin
Wonderful results for you and your team, Jared. Congratulations!
Great pictures!
