For the field portion of the meet, she claimed fifth place honors with a distance of 17 feet, 10.75 inches in the long jump. Switching gears over to the track portion, she managed third place in the 60 meter dash and eight in the 200 meter dash with times of 7.81 and 25.15, respectively. She received All-New England honors for all three of her finishes.
