Also on Friday, the girls’ sprint medley relay team of Zylah Araujo, Sade Escalante, Annika Graham-Scanlon, and L’Mio Edwards finished third with a time of 4:06.60, besting another school record (4:09.29) by nearly three seconds.

On Saturday, April 8 Denise placed ninth in the open division of the girls’ mile at 5:00.76, improving on her personal best by more than two seconds.
