Payton Payne, Mirai Bernard and Sage Hinton shined in the sprints, with Myla Greene sweeping both hurdling events for Bullis, which earned its fourth opening-round victory in as many tournament appearances, including 2017-19.

Florida demonstrated why it is the only state to secure two entries in the girls bracket, with 4A state champion Niceville producing a profound debut by showcasing one of the most dominant performances in the field events in tournament history.

Padua Academy DE 81, South County VA 54

The distance depth of Mary Katherine Dorsey, Elena Bocchetti and Mary Flanagan, along with the impressive range in the field events demonstrated by Sophia Curtis, Juliana Balon, Elce Walsh, Cassidy Becker, Libby Neiburg and Alexa Frick, helped Delaware state champion Padua Academy offset the strength in the sprints and relays showcased by Virginia 6A winner South County. Victoria Higgins, an Ohio State commit, along with freshman Catalina Sanchious, helped South County remain within striking distance on the track. But Olivia Woodham earned the only victory for South County in the field events with her discus triumph, allowing Padua Academy to produce a 23-point edge in those six competitions. In addition to winning the triple jump, Curtis also swept both hurdling events for Padua Academy, which was making its first appearance in 2018, earning the first victory for a Delaware girls program in event history.

Union Catholic NJ 101, Glastonbury CT 35

Following an impressive performance at the Connecticut Class LL Championships, Glastonbury met its match in an opening-round clash with New Jersey Non-Public A program and state powerhouse Union Catholic, which remained unbeaten all-time in first-round competition in event history. Glastonbury managed to score in every field event but the triple jump and earned a victory from Kathryn DeSousa in the high jump, but could only manage one win on the track from Ava Gattinella in the 3,200, since Union Catholic was only able to use sophomore standout Peyton Hollis in four events, one of which was the 4x400 relay. Hollis swept the 400, 800 and 1,600 for Union Catholic, which also received victories from freshman Taylor Cox in the 100 and 200, in addition to the 100 hurdles, and had Alexandra Bonn double in the long jump and triple jump. Jada Mia Puryear, a Columbia commit, triumphed in the discus and shot put, with Asydiah Pray-Brown and Daniela Peralta also contributing wins for Union Catholic.
