Morgan Weaver had the most top three finishes for the Patriots, winning the 200 meter run and the 400 meter run. Teammate, Leilani Achoe was second in the 400.

“She was like a step behind me,” said Weaver. “It was hard because I didn’t want to beat her, but I was running for my best time. The last turn coming around, and seeing the finish line, I gave 100-percent.”

For Achoe, the 400 was the race she wanted to clinch, finishing with a time of 1:03.0 to Weaver’s 102.6.

“At the start, I was a little jittery because I’ve been running OK times, so this was the time to do better, so I’m really happy,” Achoe said. “I’ve been working on that last turn and gave 110 percent on the last straightaway. Starts don’t matter as much. It’s all about the stride.”

Achoe, Mary Boglioli, Weaver, and Emmy Joseph also combined to win the 4x4 relay.

Weaver had a second place finish in the 100 meter dash, and Emerald Mayo was second for the Patriots and fifth overall in the 200.
