Peterson was joined on the boys side by 3,200 champion John Christian (9:53.39) and top shot putter Spencer Moorman (52-2).

Other Rider winners included Alison Maxwell in the 3,200 (13:00.05), Angela Pruitt in the pole vault (8-0) and Cece Stevenson in the 300 hurdles (48.09).

Stevenson also finished second in the 100 hurdles by eight hundredths of a second (16.60).
