Sophomore Lily Hendricks made the headlines on the girls’ side, taking firsts in the high jump, long jump and triple jump. Rachel Hall took two events, the 100 and the pole vault. Macy Plowman won the 200 meters, as did the 4×400 relay team. The final team score was Williamsport 88, Central Mountain 63.
