Divine Aniamaka led the team with a victory in the triple jump, achieving a leap of 15.11 meters. Head coach Andrew Basler noted, "We definitely faced some adverse conditions with the cold and rain but I thought we got a lot accomplished and performed really well."

Caden Thomas excelled in the high jump, clearing 2.03 meters to secure third place, which ties him for tenth on the program's all-time outdoor leaderboard. "I thought Caden looked really good in the high jump getting some strong looks at a PR," Basler added.
