Also in the women's distance events, Sarah McCartney notched a 6th-place finish crossing the line at 9:55.24 finishing ahead of almost 20 Power 5 runners in it.
 
Chloe Mae Wilks had a time of 8.86 in the 60m hurdle. Wilks now sits in a tie with Chloe Greene for 10th fastest in school history in the event.
 
Zemaya Carson finished in the top ten for the shot put with a heave of 14.04m (46' ¼ ") to take ninth overall in the field.
 
Greene competed in the heptathlon on Day One of the meet recording a top five finish in it and being just off her personal best total score, finishing with 3449 this weekend.
