Dean's finish was the best finish for a metro-area athlete in the event, which was again dominated by St. Paul's Episcopal, which had athletes finish first, second and fifth.
Dean's time of 25.60 seconds in the 200 meters, the last event of the first day, was the second-best overall. Only Lacy Dent had a faster time; she went on to win the overall title. Dean's distance in the shot put of 9.39 meters was third best.
