Seniors Lena Korte and Bri Underwood led the way in the field events and put the team in solid position as action transitioned to the track. Korte finished runner-up in both throwing events while Underwood claimed the long jump crown with an impressive mark of 16 feet, 5 inches. The sprint squad continued to add points to the team total by going 2-3 in the 100 and 3-4-5 in the 200. The 4x200 relay finished a close second to Onsted, but they would not be denied in the 4x100 as they dominated the field with a scorching 54.64. Individually, Cassie McNatt turned heads in both hurdles races. After claiming the 100M hurdle title, McNatt thrilled the crowd with a near flawless running of the 300M hurdles, winning by nearly 10 seconds. Ruby Sierer finished 3rd in the 300M hurdles in her first ever track meet while senior Alissa King took the 4th spot in the 3200M run to add points to the team total and comfortably outpace third-place Ida.
