It was another excellent day for the Southeast of Saline track and field teams, who despite competing in a field of 30 other schools still managed to post a first and 14th place finish.

This marks a fourth meet victory in five attempts for the defending state champion boys team, who finished with 142 points, a full 52 clear of their next closest competition in Chapman.

Meanwhile, the SES girls closed out their meet in the top half of the field, with a pair of podiums in the distance races from Ashley Prochazka.

Here then is a look at every member of each team who found the podium at this year's Beloit Relays.
