Diodati started the Seahawks off on a great note with a 13.50 finish in the 100-meter dash. The time is a new season-best for the Seahawks, bettering the previous mark of 13.63 set by Diodati one week ago. Diodati later joined teammates

In the second relay, Diodati paired with
Jessica Balling (Seaford, NY/MacArthur), Dawson, and Evins to place seventh out of ten teams in the 4x400-meter relay. Their time of 4:07.24 was seven seconds better than the previous season-best of 4:15.03 set at the Monmouth Invitational.
