There were no team scores Saturday, but several Saxons joined Hillman in posting top-10 performances.
 
AU sophomore Mary Baughman (Henrietta, NY/Rush-Henrietta) was second in the 3,000-meter run, with her time of 10:34.82 (seventh-fastest in the nation on opening weekend) breaking her own school record, while freshman Lindsay Piraino (Nunda, NY/Keshequa) was fourth (11:02.11); freshman Mijoi Powell was eighth in the 300-meter dash (44.82); and sophomore Marissa Colburn (Bridgeport, NY/Cicero-North Syracuse) and junior Morgan Flick (Honeoye, NY/Honeoye) were ninth (1:31.91) and 1-th (1:32.76), respectively, in the 500-meter run.
