Sprints saw unexpected outcomes, such as Westminster's Edwin Alfaro unexpectedly bested Manchester Valley's Logan Haines in the 300m Dash with a time of 37.46. As well as the Owls 4x200m squad (Alfaro, Cameron Rucker, Garret Boag, Jamil Yacoubou Adam) put on their best performance coming out from the #3 seed and taking home gold. Also, a 1-2-3  domination in the 55m hurdles from Rucker (8.16), Boag (8.20), and Alfaro( 8.67) respectively. However, Manchester Valley rebutted with wins from Logan Haines in the 55m dash (6.78), Quinn Favorite in the 500m dash (1:10.18), and the 4x400 consisting of Favorite, Haines, Christian Childs, and Kai Chwang. Other notable athletes were Winters Mills Isaiah Rivera(7.02, 38.02) and Deon Whitlow(6.86, 38.62) in the 55m and 300m dashes. 

The Distance side was a falcon takeover with wins from the  Winters Mill 4x800 relay team (Timmy Burger, Aidan Henry, Garrett Blizzard, and Eddie Loudenclos) Loudenclos, the anchor, was seen near a trash can later on after the race, a logical conclusion would be that he put his whole heart (and his lunch) into that anchor leg to take home the win for the Falcons. The Falcons also had wins in the 3200m and 1600m from Jackson Steinbrenner(10:29.14, 4:34.47), who had to fight hard for the win against Century's Peyton Dill(4:34.70) in an intense 1600m finish that went down to the line. Dill would quickly bounce back from a .23-second loss by winning the 800m in 2:07.06 over Christian Childs of Manchester Valley (2:07.27). Other athletes with notable performances were Centurys Ryan Hartranft and Jayden Craig in the 1600m and the 800m. 

    In the Field events, Lukas Michael of Westminster vaulted 12 feet and 6 inches to win Pole Vault, Francis Scott Keys Grant Smith (12 feet) placed second, and Century's Louis Losoya(12 feet) placed third. Shot Put saw Nathan Michel of Winters Mill throw 43 feet and 11 inches to win the event, Century's Brennan Smith placed 2nd with a throw of 40 feet and 7 inches, third place went to Jacob Gibson of Westminster, who threw 39 feet, and .25 inches. In the High Jump, it was all David Ogunbanjo of Liberty who jumped 5 feet and 10 inches to win the event, Westminster's Cameron Rucker placed 2nd with a jump of 5 feet and 6 inches while Olawatobi Adelaja of Francis Scott Key took third place with a jump of 5 feet and 4 inches.
