Multiple personal records were additionally set on the track. Freshman Jenna Strauss (Bridgewater) had a trio of lifetime bests by running 9.32 in the 60-meter dash, 32.44 in the 200-meter dash and 10.66 in the 60-meter hurdles.
Freshman Eric Dameron (Galion) ran two personal records in the 200-meter dash (25.69) and in the 400-meter dash (57.85). Freshman Josh Mattoon (Rawson/Cory-Rawson) also had a pair of lifetime bests by running 57.87 in the 400-meter dash and 25.67 in the 200-meter dash.
