Women’s Results | Men’s Results
One of the biggest draws of competing in the Masters Track & Field Championships is the race for the Team Championship awards. We performed very well in this scoring in both divisions. The Women finished in 18th place with 32 points and the Men in 25th place with 16 points. Overall scoring was completed for the first time this year. We earned 48 total points which placed us in 20th place in the combined scoring.
