Hurwitz shattered her personal best by nine-and-a-half inches while winning the long jump. Her distance of 17'10.25" elevated her to fifth on the season's Northeast-10 Conference performance list.

She ran a 9.21 in the prelims, bettering Hurwitz' time of 9.28 and her own PR of 9.37. After recording the conference's fifth best time, she placed second with a 9.23 time in the finals.

Hultin captured the 800 in 2:29.32, just about a second faster than runner-up Kayla Raymond of Maine.

Senior Dom Balzora-Rivert (Templeton, Mass./Narragansett Reg. HS) finished second in the 60 with her 8.16 clocking a season-best.
