Julia Maclaine (North Easton, Mass.), Kaylee Whitney (Milford, Mass.), Brianna am Ende (Coventry, R.I.), and Hannah Shepard (Keene, N.H.) highlighted the Gulls' efforts by smashing the school record in the 4x400-meter relay.

The group ran a time of 4:14.47 (15th overall/23 entrants) to break the previous record by 5.21 seconds (4:19.68, 2/25/23).

Maclaine opened the relay with a team-best leg of 1:02.43, while Whitney, am Ende, and Shepard followed with splits of 1:04.37, 1:04.16, and 1:03.11.

In the distance medley relay (DMR), Whitney and am Ende combined with Allie Devoe (Ridgefield, Conn.) and Alexa Suchy (Guilford, Conn.) to run a school record time of 13:15.38 (17th overall/22 teams).
