Margo Gills (2:16.68) and Sam Gluck (2:26.28) went 1-3 in the 800, Carolyn Ranti (5:21.59) and Maggie Heffernan (5:27.80) took the two top spots in the mile, Michele (one "l" this time...) Kaufman won the hurdles in 15.41, as North took three of the top five places, emily Hutchinson won the high jump (5-0), and Amy Ren won the triple jump (35-1.75).
