In the 4x100 relay, the quartet of Sophia Palmer, Jahzara McAlister, Paige Schulte and Sarah Madi-Bouabre just missed a new school record, posting a time of 47.58 seconds, missing the existing mark by six-hundredths of a second. 

In the 400m hurdles, Palmer paced the team's entries with a time of 1:06.45 and junior Journey Howard finished at 1:06.63.
