On the boys side it was the Santa Fe squad coming out on top. Gunnar Nixon won both the 100-meter hurdles and high jump to lead the Wolves past Del City for the title.
The Santa Fe boys also picked up gold medals from Walter Henderson in the 100-meter dash, and in both the 400 and 1600-meter relays.
The Huskies finished fifth overall with a first-place finish in the 1600 relay and a pair of silver medals from Adam Godwin in the 1600 and 3200-meter run.
