Finally, the men picked up third-place honors in the 4x200 meter relay, as Ethan Deselem, David Brew, Lanz, and Remington Jackson crossed the finish line in 1:35.35.

On the women's side, the Scots took top honors in a pair of jumping events, including one by impressive freshman Ellen Sandin in the long jump (15 feet, 8.75 inches), who finished nearly a foot ahead of the nearest competitor.

The other jumping victory came courtesy of Abena Boamah-Acheampong in her signature event, as she cleared the bar at 5 feet, 1.75 inches to top seven others. Fellow classmate Kendra Shehy also competed in the high jump and placed third (4 feet, 11.75 inches).
