“We were glad to move the meet to a little better weather today,” said Warren coach Kevin Dustin. “We were able to move some kids around to do different events to score points in areas that they may normally not. The kids were eager to jump in wherever they could, which is really nice to have. We were glad to come away with the wins on both sides and look forward to going to the SRU Invite this weekend.”

In the Lady Dragons’ 123-26 victory, Lindsay Madison and Maddie Nosel finished 1-2 in the 100-meter dash and Shyann Rulander, Morgan Alexander and Hannah Pierson 1-2-3 in both the 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter events. Warren’s Lilly Newton easily won the 400 meters and high jump, and edged teammates Nosel and Lauren Fajbik to win the 200 meters. Madigan and teammate Jenna Kophazy finished first and second in the long jump in 15 feet, 1 inch and 14 feet, 9 inches, respectively, and Madigan also finished first in the triple jump for her third individual win.
