While the Vikings scored their share of points on the track, highlighted by a victory in the 4x800 in 10:21.80, their work in the field events was once again a huge key to the victory. All three individual wins by South Brunswick came in the field. Khushi Gupta won the HJ (5-4), Renee Nartey captured the LJ (16-5.50), and Ava Hutchison won the the javelin (109-10).

The girls competition also featured two double winners, some big breakthrough victories, and of course the remarkable total team effort by South Brunswick.
