Brielle Musallam made strides in the long jump finals, securing 7th place with a jump of 14’6.75”. Additionally, the 4x200M relay team exceeded expectations, sneaking into medal contention from the second heat and earning the 8th spot with a personal record time of 1:54.23, led by Lily Bermudez, Brielle Musallam, Avery Turk, and Savanna Rupnow.
