"We had some good performances," stated Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Cliff Rovelto. "Personal-bests are obviously a good thing, and we had a number of those. (Antonio) Hanson and (Shalysa) Wray ran their first open 400s and both came back and ran well on the 4x400. Kassidy (Johnson) looked very strong as well. This is important because that is what we have to do at the conference meet."

In the men's high jump, junior Devon Richardson reached a height of 2.14m/7-0.25, claiming the first-place spot.
