While Antione Cross and Sam Broadwater posted second place finishes in their heats of the 55m Dash, Brian Marshall flew past the competition in his heat of the 55m Dash, only to miss out on the semi-finals by .04 seconds.
Jason Muehling had a successful showing in the shot put, placing in the top 10, while Elvis Machado and Simon Holzapfel ran the 3000m race for the cross country program. Holzapfel ran away with a first place finish among the intercollegiate competition posting a time of 8:50 minutes.
