and records were set. The Rising Sun Girls Team placed highest of all Cecil teams and won 2nd place (87 points), followed by North East Girls in 5th (54 points), Bo Manor in 7th (46 points), and Elkton in 10th (22 points). Perryville Boys earned 5th (54 points), followed by Elkton Boys in 7th (47 points), Rising Sun Boys in 8th (38 points),
