Christina Mueller won the discus with a 51.22m toss, throwing almost four meters farther than any other competitor and qualifying for NCAA Regionals. Joining her will be senior Andrea Kvetova, who won the javelin with an NCAA Regional-qualifying 47.82m heave.
Other Mustang winners were Nnenna Ejesieme, who claimed the 400m (58.19), Gayla Cloud, who won the 400m hurdles (1:03.34), and Lauren Kuhner, who won the hammer with a 53.56m effort.
