NEW BEDFORD — Newton North dominated yesterday’s State Coaches Invitational boys meet with four different first place finishers, but it was BC High’s Jordan Samuels who shone brightest on the day.
Samuels won the 110-meter hurdles in 15.06 seconds, came in second place in the triple jump with a leap of 46 feet, 31⁄2 inches, and helped the Eagles place fourth in the 4 x 100 relay to earn Athlete of the Meet honors.
“Honestly I thought that I did pretty bad today, so I wasn’t expecting to win the award,” said a modest Samuels. “I was on the phone telling my dad that I did badly when they announced I had won it, so I was pretty shocked.”
