Jacob Drew (Corning Painted Post) etched his way into the Alfred State record book with a great effort in the 800. His run of 1:57.44 is now the 3rd best in school history.

Jacob Wadsworth (Dansville) was 17th in the high jump with a leap of 1.97 m.

The distance medley relay team also competed and finished in 11:25.07.

On the women's side, the distance medley relay team of Kathrine O'Buckley (Queens/Francis Lewis), Veronica Dailey (Addison), Katherine Frascella (Franklinville), and Emily Brigman (Lancaster) finished in 14:48.16. Brigman finished the 60 m hurdles in 10.25.
