Both Schafer and Fleishman, in addition to their own individual events, were members of 4x400M relays teams that battled it out with their neighboring rivals. Fleishman held off Trumansburg in the final leg of the boys relay for a win over Trumansburg while Dryden took the top spot overall. Schafer anchored the girls relay and fought to hold off Dryden's fourth runner Abbey Yatsko who narrowly edged out Lansing by 0.4 seconds.
