Unfortunately, the Blue Devil boys were not as lucky as they lost to Tyrone, 104-46. It was the first win for the Golden Eagles in the last 15 years of the series.
Marissa Panasiti had wins in the 100, 200, and 400 Meter Dashes, as well as having a part in the winning 4×400 meter Relay team that includes herself, Sophie Damiano, Raegan Plowman, and Riley D’Angelo.

The Lady Blue Devils also performed well in triple jump with Karson Swogger jumping her way to first with 29-10, while Abby Luensmann grabbed second with a 29-8.
The 4×800 Relay team of Riley D’Angelo, Stephanie Mills, Kara Engle, and Elizabeth Whaley also took first for B-A yesterday.

The Blue Devils’ high jumpers continued a strong season, sweeping the event with Matt Glunt taking first after leaping to a height of 6’2”. Luke Hollingshead was second and Clay Engle third.
