Her mark of 6.17m is currently the tops in the Conference and 21^st in the country. Cassie Ackemann finished second in the high jump with a 1.75 clearance, good for another nationally-ranked mark.

Freshmen Madison Savoy placed seventh in the 800m in her first collegiate race, Raelyn Roberson finished sixth in the long jump and Jordanae Scott recorded a top 10 in the 60m.
