Warwick won the 400-meter relay (43.20) for the first time since 2003. Likewise, the Valley Central 1,600 squad (8:05.03) won for the first time since 2004.
Valley Central’s Dayna Scott was a triple winner, setting a meet mark in the 200 meters (24.39 seconds) – breaking the 2004 hand-adjusted mark of 24.74 by Latoya Shippy of Middletown – to go with wins in the 400 (57.92) and repeat effort in the triple jump (35 feet, 4.5 inches).
Monroe-Woodbury’s Molly Connolly set a meet record in the 100-meters (12.23 seconds), breaking a 2019 mark of 12.31 by Kingston’s Samara Herzog.
Monroe’s Olivia Heim became a triple winner in the 3,000 (10:33.15). Valley Central’s Jillian Kendrick repeated as high jump (5-0) champ, as did Kingston discus thrower Tiffany Hajba (129-6; best winning mark after 2004).
