The Sydney, Australia native broke her old school record in the 60-meter outdoor mark with a time of 8.83 seconds. Her previous best was 9.03 seconds.

Amanakis also won the 400-meter and 800-meter events posting times of 56.82 and 2:12.82, respectively. Both times now rank No. 7 on the all-time school lists.
