"I had no doubt that we would be scoring a lot on the second day," Ireton said, "so I didn't think too much about being in third on the first day.

Day two's field events started with the triple jump, where once again, Lossing was able to help the team, finishing eighth with a jump of 9.57 meters and winning the high jump with a final jump of 1.60 meters. The height sets a new standard at Hopkins as the new school record.
