Junior Suzanne Dannheim claimed victory in her debut at the women's 3000m, leading three Colonials among the top eight in the competition. Dannheim finished in a time of 10:02.55 and was followed by senior Madison Yerke in seventh with a PR time of 10:13.73. Sophomore Margaret Coogan finished eighth in 10:15.47.
Senior Brigid Prial (10:31.23, 15th) and Kelli Stetson (10:39.06, 23rd) also set PRs in the 3000m competition.
On the men's side, junior Evan Garry set a PR in 53.35 in the men's 400m and graduate student Carter Day posted the top finish of the day, placing fourth in the 1500m with a time of 4:00.39.
