Norton swim and diving team= record breakers!!!
Norton highschool has a very strong swim and diving team. There has been many victories threw out the season, and very impressive preformances esp from the younger rookies on the team. For Nortons meet against taunton the team combined 22 best times in just the first swim meet of the season! Freshman Allison Hunt and Quinn mcAlear each took down two individual records. All eyes were on them because they were brand new on the team and having such a successful day in JUST the first meet of there highschool careers. Another standout on the team is track star Eric sanford, Belinsky, Brandon Blair posted the mark of 4:01:91 with a new record in the relay.
The team is also very good at heart, because on December20th the team gave a hand on helping assemble dinners for the local families in need. Anyways, norton girls and boys team preformed well at Middleboro invitational meet setting 3 more school records, they swam their way to 24 new personal bests. They also had 3 swimmers on the team achieve the special golden goggles award. They were all the senior lady lancers. A big part of that meet was Quinn on finishing second overall in the 200 free style with a blistering time of 2:07:61!!
All threw the season there have been wins and losses.. But all that matters is that they had tried their very best and reached there goals, and also met new friends. The team should all be very proud of the great season they had. They are moticated highschool students and will be ready to break even more records next year!!!

Deena Kastor will run in the Los Angeles 2016 olympic marathon trials!
Deena Michelle is an all American long distance runner and holds many records in the marathon races she runs. She is 5"4 and 104lbs and is from Waltham MA. She won the bronze medal in the womwens marathon at the 2004 Olimpics in Athens, Greece. She was always the standout athlete in highschool. She competed in the most hardest race for any highschool running athlete could ever qualify for, and one 2 of the races. Its called the Footlocker cross country championships. Anyways, after she was done with college she decided that she just wanted to focus on marathons. After all of her hard work and training had paid off because in 2007 she placed 5th in the Boston Marathon!!! Which i will be running in the Baystate marathon in october to try and qualify for the boston marathon 2015.
Deena went threw a few foot issues and knee problems but she pushed through them all. She had a baby in 2010 and quickly got back into "beast mode" and set a record in the marathon with the time of 2:19!!!!!Its crazy to think about because that like holding a 5 minute mile threw 26.2 miles! Thats insane. When she steps foot on the starting line in Los Angeles in 2016 i think its going to be a smoke show and shes going to win it.. it may be a battle at the end BUT she got this no doubt about it! :)

sam in the game!
I think on how well Sam plays on the NFL team will be how they determine his acceptance. I dint think the players wil really care much if hes a really good player because they will just focus on how well he plays for them. In my opinion I don't think it will really be a big deal.

Gangster in the huddle!!!!
Hernandez had always been into drugs and the life of violence. After he had lost his father his mother had married a violent coke dealer. So it effected him a lot. Aaron was described as goofy and very funny. His mother is known as causing alot of drama in the house. She cheated on her husband just before he had died. Anyways, The coach probably wanted Hernandez on the team because of his athletic talents BUT they also thought he was good because he's so aggressive. Aaron later on got mixed into the wrong crowd and started partying and bringing a gun around everywhere he went. he said he never felt safe. The patriots were saddened by what he did, but they kept him for stupid reasons. His best friend was Lloyd. One night when they were out they saw Lloyd's cousin and the cousin told Hernandez off and he got pissed then he ended up killing Lloyd cause people said he was a bad seed. Then stupidly he posed a picture up with a gun and blood on himself from the killing and he got arrested! But he deserves it.

Seahawks dominating performanc!!! 43-8
Man I was wrong about my prediction! Manning had a very bad day and he made me disappointed. I couldn't watch much of the game due to work but I watched the last hour of it. I got to give credit when is due, so the other team did awesome. There were many touchdowns, The 12 seconds of play marked the fastest score in Super Bowl history. I enjoyed watching the last few commercials cause some were good and I also liked eating all the nachos on the table. Overall the game was very entertaining to watch ad I fairly enjoyed it! The score was 43-8. I was and am still pissed about that -__-
