Joslyn Reif and Charli Vickers tied for second place in the high jump and the duo of Isabelle Stallbaumer and Mya Weverka took third and fourth, respectively, in the shot put event.

Faith Bierman took fifth in the 800 meters, and then the sprint duo of Recoy and Schwarz placed second and third in the 200 meters. Reif also earned the 6th place medal in that event.
