All State Championship is this Saturday at Reggie Lewis Track
from Coach Norton:
Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Newton South's sprint group will be competing in the "All State Track Meet" on Saturday Feb.26 at the Reggie Lewis indoor track facilities!
Special appearances from Youssef Elkorchi, Jeffrey Alkins, Grant Henderson, Patrick Kuffour, and Marini Lopci will give their best performances in their respective legs on the NS 4x200 relay team. Their objective is to reach a standing ovation from the crowd when they break into the top 5 and better their season PR of 1:33 seconds.
Other special guests will be Andrew O'Hagan, Brooks Remy, Cary Potochnik, and Marini Lopci. They will give an encore performance in their respective legs on the NS 4x400 relay team. They will bring down the curtain as they register their highest note in the top 5 and hopefully matching their season PR of 3:29 seconds.
Also arriving from the town of Newton Massachusetts, is the gracious, 6th seeded, Nicole Kestenburg, the high jumper extraordinaire. She will give an uplifting performance that will take your breath away, as she projects to shatter her own PR of 5'3".
So stand-up and put your hands together and cheer for your future alumnus, and leaders of tomorrow. Catch a full day of track & field competition featuring the Newton South sprint and distance ensemble performing live at the Reggie Lewis Center, start time 11:00am
"Good Student-Athletes are a terrible thing to waste"
