“Sophomore Kayla Prior had a great match for North, finishing first in the 50-yard free (28.01 seconds), taking third in the 100 free with a personal-best 1:03.50, and swimming in the 200 free relay team that won in 1:56.27 – about five seconds ahead of Dedham’s best effort.”

The 50 free win was her first individual win. Video shows a ~27.8 PR. 5 tenths to go to state sectional qualifying time. If you watch the video you’ll note she also had to beat a boy. Dedham doesn’t have a boys team so several fast boys swim on the girls team.

Kayla also anchored the “B” medley relay team to a 2nd place over Newton’s A team. Her 100fr time was a PR (~1:03.3 by video) and would hit the varsity letter standard for a 2nd event (only need 1 for letter). All together she contributed to 21 points (9 individual, 12 relay) of Newton’s 93 points.

There were 3 grandparents in attendance! Newton’s final two dual meets are this Friday and next Tuesday.
