Grace Murray was victorious in the 400 hurdles in 1:07.03 to hold off Chittenango’s Hannah Wagner (1:07.82) before joining Mackey, Aaliyah McDonald and Camryn Jacob to win the 4×400 relay in 4:07.41, just ahead of Baldwinsville’s 4:09.12.

Eells had a third-place high jump of 5’3″, with Liverpool’s Georgia Jwaskiewicz fifth (5 feet) and Taima Tearney sixth (4’10”. Jasmine Ayre was third in the pentathlon with 2,239 points, with the Northstars fourth in the 4×100.
