Zyrin Odom fell short of gold but made the podium twice, finishing second in the 200m and third in the long jump, and Wilson also snagged third in the shot put.
Nash Mills provided another bright spot for the Eagles with a bronze in the 1,600 as he continues to work his way back from injuries suffered in a serious car accident last summer.
Fareed Abdullah blazed the trail for the May River boys, winning the 100m and 200m, while Noah Wasserman found the podium twice with silver in the 1,600 and bronze in the 800. The host Warriors had one champion with Virginia Tech football signee Xavier Chaplin winning the shot put.
