Adding sixths were 3200-meter runner Tommy Dettinger, whose time was 10:14, the Boy’s 4x200m relay team, and Junior Evan Hornstein, who ran the 100m dash in 11.31.

Cumberland’s two Regional Champions, pole vaulters Jack Owens and Mya Gardner, finished 10th and 8th respectively at 11-06 and 8-06. Gardner, a Junior, broke her previous School Record once again in Webster with a jump of 9-06.
