200 -- Rachael DeCecco, Cumberland Valley, 26.30
The senior won her third event of the meet with a narrow victory over Central Dauphin's Lauren Grice (26.43). DeCecco caught Grice down the stretch and held her off at the finish line for victory.

3,200 -- Mady Clahane, Cumberland Valley, 10:37.03
Still trying to get back on track after a battle with pneumonia, Clahane had a career performance. Clahane, a senior, crushed the field and shattered the meet record of 10:46.06, established by Big Spring's Lara Crofford in 2007.

Cumberland Valley's team of Laura Barnes, Megan Howe, Marie Rulapaugh and Mady Clahane routed the field, finishing ahead of Mount Carmel (9:56.10) and Carlisle (10:27.81). The Eagles were about eight seconds off the record of 9:31.9, established by Solanco in 1991.
100 hurdles -- Sierra Brabham-Lawrence, Harrisburg, 14.49
The defending indoor state champion in the 60 hurdles had no problems dusting the field at Ken Millen Stadium. Brabham-Lawrence finished ahead of Cumberland Valley's Rachael DeCecco (15.36) and Waynesboro's Hollister Rolls (15.73).
300 hurdles -- Rachael DeCecco, Cumberland Valley, 44.06
DeCecco continued her season-long rivalry with Harrisburg's Sierra Brabham-Lawrence and defeated her after a hard-fought race. DeCecco led for most of the race, but Brabham-Lawrence charged hard at the end to make it close. DeCecco reassumed control with a strong effort on the second-to-last hurdle.
High jump -- Lilly Harnish, Waynesboro, 5-2
Harnish edged Boiling Springs Shannon Donnelly, who also leapt 5-2, by virtue of successful jumps. Only two other jumpers, Cumberland Valley's Erin Meckler and James Buchanan's Jenna Carbaugh, had marks of 5-0.
Long jump -- Rachael DeCecco, Cumberland Valley, 17-3
DeCecco proved to be too much for the field to handle. She ran away for victory, beating the competition by more than a half-foot. DeCecco topped Boiling Springs' Abby Martin (16-8.75) and Mary Spisak (15-8.25).
Triple jump -- Abby Martin, Boiling Springs, 36-4
Martin finished seven inches in front of the competition, defeating Waynesboro's Lilly Harnish (35-9) and Mechanicsburg's Nicole Weenink (34-9).

Shot put -- Taylor Weiss, Boiling Springs, 36-9
Weiss saved her best throw for the finals. Using a spin move, the senior launched herself into first place with a heave that surpassed Greenwood's Emily Fisher (35-5.5) and Cumberland Valley's Charis Lu (35-3).
Discus -- Taylor Weiss, Boiling Springs, 125-3
With night falling on Carlisle, Weiss had just enough daylight to launch her winning throw. Weiss easily claimed victory, defeating Gettysburg's Rachael Sullivan (109-3) and Cumberland Valley's Charis Lu (108-4).
Javelin -- Maura Fiamoncini, Mount Carmel, 122-6
Mount Carmel's Maura Fiamoncini was orginally announced as the third-place finisher, but after a typo was corrected in the scoring system, it was learned she was actually the winner. Fiamoncini finished ahead of Trinity's Alexis Lipnicky (122-2) and Susquehannock's Jessica Voltaggio (114-0).
Team champion -- Cumberland Valley
Cumberland Valley racked up 104 points to win the David B. Eavenson, Sr. Memorial Team Trophy over Boiling Springs (72), Carlisle (57), Central Dauphin (45) and Mechanicsburg (44).
