The Lincoln boys’ 65 points won the boys meet. The Union County boys had 46 points to edge out third place Winchester’s 44 points.

Four Lady Patriots won blue ribbons in six events. Freshman Katie McCashland placed first in three individual events – 100m dash, 400m run and long jump along with the 100m relay team and 3200m relay team. 

Johanna Nelson ran first in the 3200m run, Brooklyn  Vaulthier won the shot put and Peyton Shepler’s throw in the discus was a winner. The Patriot boys’ 400m relay team came home with blue ribbons.
