In a tighter competition, Alauna Ray out leaped Dasjah Mason to win the women’s 17-18 high jump. Two inches decided the competition, as Ray posted a mark of 1.65m/5-05 and Mason’s best jump measured 1.60m/5-03.

The 11-12 boys’ javelin competition came down to the final throw. Marcus Hochhalter’s javelin sailed 37.48m/122-11 on his final attempt to take over the lead from Jett Kinder. Hochhalter’s best attempt was eight inches past Kinder’s best mark.
