Senior Andretta Colley jumped 19-0 1-2 to win the long jump. That's an NCAA automatic qualifying mark and ranks second in the nation this season.

Brigid Power won the 800 meters in 2:14.81. Jenny Olin was second in the 1,500 meters in 5:03.36. Molly Bauman ran on the winning 4x400 relay, clocked 26.38 in the 200 meters, and hit 15.41 in the 100 hurdles. Erika Wetzel was second in the javelin in 126-4.
