Freshman Brianna Hinds set a new PR in the women's 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:02.19 while Garrett Gibson took third in the men's 400h, crossing the finish line in 52.15 while Denzel Hinds came in at 52.86.
 
Destiny Nkeonye posted a wind-aided PR leap of 7.62m/25-0.0 (+2.6) to place third in the men's long jump and move up the regional ranking list. In the women's long jump, Rebecca Pecora set a new PR with a jump of 5.98m/19-7.50 to place fifth. Meanwhile, in the triple jump, Reem Tammam finished fourth with a top jump of 5.98m/19-7.50.
