Grady Ball had the team’s last individual win, scoring a winning distance in the shot put.
Wellsville would score two additional relay victories along the way, recording winning times in the 1600 and 3200 relays. As for the Lady Lions, eight first place finishes would help them stroll away from Fillmore and Cuba-Rushford, with two wins from Kaylee Oswald leading the charge, as she swept both throwing events — the shot put and discus, to lay claim on the gold. Brooklyn Dahlgren and Lauren Viglietta each scored a win from the field, as they posted wins in the high jump and long jump, respectively.
The Lady Lions also scored a 3200 relay victory along the way to further the cause. Other individual winners for Wellsville include Edahlia Sebastian in the 100 dash, and Talia O’Connor in the 400 hurdles.

For the boys, Ethan Coleman and Tristan Clayson had the two lone individual wins for the hosts, each garnering wins in the 200 dash and discus, respectively. The team would also post a winning time in the 400 relay.
