The Maryland girls aren't quite as deep on the national leaderboad in the field events as they are in the track events, but are still represented in all four of the main events (high jump, long jump, triple jump and shot put). In the relays the Bullis girls have used their depth to rise to the top of the 4x200 and 4x400 rankings.
