As a team, the Green Terror men finished ninth with 10 points. Haverford, by virtue of finishing 1-2-4-5-6-7 in the 5,000 meters, won its 16^th consecutive men's title with 170 points. The Fords edged second-place Dickinson by four points. The Red Devils led by as many as 20 points late in the day Sunday, bidding to hand Haverford its first runner-up finish in CC history, but the Fords used a 25-point swing in the second-to-last event on the track. Leading by six entering the 4x400-meter relay, Haverford finished second to Dickinson's win to retain the crown.

            On the women's side, McDaniel placed ninth with 18 points. Haverford ran away with its fourth straight title, racking up 226.75 points to outdistance second-place Johns Hopkins by 59.25 points.

            Eyler improved his preliminary time by two one-hundredths of a second and improved two spots to notch the Green Terror's top finish at the meet.

            Eyler was the only individual to earn points for McDaniel but was also a part of two of the three relays that also registered points.

            Eyler ran the second leg of both the 4x100 (45.73) and 4x400 (3:39.85) relays, which both finished eighth.

            Rick Gonzalez (Columbia, Md./Oakland Mills) and Alex Reiser (Washington, D.C./McLean School of Maryland) were also part of both foursomes.

            Rob Kelvey (Westminster, Md./Westminster) anchored the 4x800 relay that finished sixth with a time of 8:12.01.

            Jennifer Garnett (Los Altos, Calif./Homestead) led the women's team with a fifth-place finish in the 400, posting a time of 1:01.45 after running a season-best time of 1:00.46 in Saturday's prelims.

            Heidi Davidhizar and Erin Balsamo (Baltimore, Md./Western Tech) both scored in the heptathlon to lead McDaniel on the first two days.

            Davidhizar finished sixth with 2,941 points while Balsamo was eighth with 2,522 points.

            Davidhizar added points with a sixth-place finish in the 100 hurdles (16.87) and as the anchor for the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. The shorter relay opened day three with a seventh-place finish (53.68) while the same foursome of Garnett, Kristin Duling (Hampstead, Md./North Carroll), Emma Nichols (Myersville, Md./Middletown) and Davidhizar placed sixth in the longer relay (4:17.89).

            Garnett and Nichols were also part of the 4x800 relay that closed day two with a seventh-place showing (10:17.14).
