Five events broke the tape Tuesday at Cresco.
Brielle Buresh was the lone individual to win gold as she sprinted to victory in the 100-meter dash in 12.94 seconds, just ahead of teammate Lani Hubka who crossed the finish line in 13.08 seconds.
Four relays struck gold that began with the shuttle hurdle relay. Autumn Schaller, Sydney Kipp, Anya Lovstuen and Kallie Mincks topped the field in 1:11.52. Later it was the 4×200 of Buresh, Hayley Stowe, Sami Mount and Hubka sprinting around the track in 1:45.97 for first.
The night finished with back-to-back victories in the 4×100 and 4×400 relays. Teaming up in the 4×100 were Chloe Reiser, Mount, Dahlyn Headington and Kipp in 52.58 seconds.
