The 4×200-meter team consisting of Maddie Goodhue, Grace Castellucci, Skye Ciolino, and Aili Spencer came in a close second to Marblehead with a .14 gap. 

On the boy’s side, Matthew Smith took fourth in the boy’s shot put, and Leo Costantino took third in the triple jump. Dylan Rochford took eighth in the 300-meter dash, Jefferson DoCarmo took sixth in the 600-meter, and Lyall Cunningham took eighth in the mile. The boys 4×200 team consisting of Costantino, Rochford, Landen Cusick, and Dylan Smith took fourth.
