It would be hard to find a more exciting way to begin the season than this meet. With the PIL's new three-way meet schedule, Madison only starts the year out 1-0, even though they beat both teams, since they will see Roosevelt again later in the season. With both schools missing some key performers it was a close meet all day. Going into the 4X400 relay Franklin held a 78-77 lead after a strong 3000m race. In an incredible race that wasn't decided until the final 20m, Madison pulled off the huge upset of the defending dual meet chanpions.
The Senators had a difficult day against a good Quaker squad. The girls were very competitive and had some very good events, but not quite enough to come out on top. A few of the bright spots for Madison were the javelin, the 4X100 relay, as well as some strong performances in the sprints and distances.
