Palmyra's girls' 4x800-meter relay team set the tone at the Mid-Penn Track and Field Meet Saturday morning with a new meet record, and Cedar Cliff's 4x400 relay team finished off the event with a new stadium standard.
The Cougars ran a 9:17.49, breaking the mark of 9:24.99 set by Northern in 2006.
Olivia Farabaugh, Miranda Salvo, Maria Tukis and Katie Dembrowski combined for that record time. It was the third weekend in a row that the Cougars set a meet record in the 4x800. The other two were at the Lebanon County Meet and the Blue Streak Relays.
"We were aiming to beat our school record, which we set last year," Dembrowski said.
That school record was 9:25, so they accomplished that as well.
In the 4x400, Trinity led for the first two laps before Cedar Cliff made its surge to a 3:57.75, a stadium and school record.
Nicole Boldosser, Amanda Lawrence, Taylor Chapman and Katlin Gould put together the winning time.
The other relay, the 4x100, was won by Milton Hershey. Autumn Beattie, Angela Pleasant, Jasmine Mitchell and Kimberly Disla Castro had a 49.35.

Elle Wallace of Lower Dauphin won the 300 hurdles with a 44.64, but it was hard to tell by eye as Harrisburg's Sierra Brabham-Lawrence also had a 44.64.
"I could see [Brabham-Lawrence] out of the corner of my eye," Wallace said. "I think she was out ahead of me with 100 meters to go."
Wallace got out to a good start, but then Cumberland Valley's Rachael DeCecco made up ground on the turn. But once the race went to the last straightaway, Wallace and Brabham-Lawrence took over.
Cumberland Valley wins girls' team title
Brabham-Lawrence won the the 100 hurdles with a 15.14, with Wallace placing second with a 15.27.
There was no official result that listed Wallace and Brabham-Lawrence's times down to the thousandths of a second in the 300 hurdles, so there is no way to know how much Wallace won by in that event.
However, there were such results for the 100-meter dash. State College's Lauren Bonness won with a 12.766, beating Mitchell by 0.002 seconds.
Mitchell was also second in the 200, this time behind Spartan teammate Siani Hinton. Hinton had a 25.94 and Mitchell had a 26.13.
Two fifth seeds earned gold medals on the track.
Carlisle's McCall Ledgett ran a 2:18.24 in the 800. She made a late break from the pack, beating Cumberland Valley's Mady Clahane by 0.78 seconds. The second, third, fourth and fifth-place runners finished within 0.6 seconds of each other.
In the 3200, Chambersburg's Courtney Group won with an 11:09.98. She entered with a seed time of 11:31.21. The top seed, Hershey's Gabi Broschard, was second with an 11:14.89. Broschard actually dropped from her seed time of 11:18.81.
Hershey's Libby Nolan won the 400 with a 57.70.
