The Southeast of Saline track and field teams capped off their regular season with a bang, as the boys earned a third-straight NCAA title, and the girls finished second, posting the best result of their campaign.
The league championship on the boy's side was wrapped up shortly after the competition began, as the Trojans scored an insurmountable 272.5 points, leaving their next closest competitors in Beloit, who scored just 91 points, miles behind in the dust.
On the girl's side, it was another Trojan threepeat, this time for Beloit, who won the meet with 203 points, ahead of Southeast in second.
All in all a total of 21 SES athletes made individual podiums on the day across 35 different events, with four podiums and three wins in the relays.
Here then is a look at every Southeast podium appearance from this year's league meet.
