The Wolves were also fifth in the sprint medley.

WACO was led by their shuttle hurdles team, as senior Zoey Dennler and junior Ally Rinner teamed with freshmen Madelyn Farmer and Brenna Graber to win the relay in 1:19. Junior Justine Lynn was fifth in the 3,000 for the Warriors, who were also second in the sprint medley and distance medley.

The Huskies also finished fifth in the girls’ 4-by-100, while the best finish for their boys at Lisbon was from sophomore Elvin Hernandez, who was eighth in the 400.
