The boys relay teams ran the gauntlet again winning all four races. Lleyton Penn continued his impressive year with a first place finish in shot put and a fourth place outing is discus. Thaddeus Mays had a near perfect day with wins in long jump, triple jump and pole vault, but his teammate Jalen Lukitsch beat him in 110 hurdles to keep him from the 40 point performance. Junior Beau Brown proceeds to make his argument for being one of the fastest in state with four wining times including the 100 and 200 meter dash. Sam Lewis handled the long distance for the boys team winning the two mile and taking third place in the mile run.

Eighth grader Teigh Yeast recorded the fastest time in the girls 100 meter dash and farthest distance in triple jump to go with her two relay wins for 40 points. Clayra Darnell swept the distance events for the Titan girls winning the mile and two mile. Jai Maria and Ralasia Piazza competed eight times and finished first seven times. The sisters teamed up to win the 4x200 and 4x400. Individually they won the 100 hurdles, long jump and high jump to bring in 51 points for Mercer.
