I have gone through the full heat sheets and event results for the Tiger Invitational to correct previous omissions and errors. Most notably, I caught that I had previously missed Carmen Dorsey-Spitz’s second individual win in the 1600m and several field event placements.

Below is the verified, final agate listing for all Moriarty High School athletes.
