Though the Maidens faired a bit better in the team scoring, they had a tough time busting into the top four individually. Sydnee Clairmont placed the highest for the Maidens, taking home third in the long jump, landing 14’9.5” while Ally Buhr finished fourth in the high jump, clearing 4’10”. Maiden teams also placed fourth in both the 400 and 1600 relays.
