In the mile, Kristina Tapia (Ridley Park, Pa./Ridley) ran for a time of 5:23.43 seconds for 12th place, while Ellie Goldberg (West Deptford, NJ. / West Deptford) crossed the finish line in 5 minutes and 25.31 seconds for 15th place. Tapia also placed 17th in the Women's 800 with a time of 2:29.94.
In the high jump, Jade Salmon (Rochester, N.Y./Gates Chili) cleared a height of 5 feet and 1 ¼ inches for sixth place, marking the second time she has made the podium in her career.
In the triple jump, Katie Pieslak (Yardley, Pa./Pennsbury) placed 11th with a leap of 35-9 ½ inches.
In the shot put, Emma Deyarmin (Leesport, Pa./Schuylkill Valley) placed 14th with a throw of 37-8 ½.
