Muffick took 6th in the shot put, 28’ 9”, with Brianna Layng 7th at 28’ 3” and Katie Maus 9th, 25’ 8”. Joslyn Buckley won the discus with a throw of 106’ 0.5”; Maus was 7th at 77’ 4.5” and London Ostby 8th, 75’ 5”. Muffick won the javelin at 118’ 7”, with Buckley 4th, 111 ‘8”, and Layng 6th, 99’ 5”.
