The women accounted for three school records and four event victories, showcasing depth across sprints, distance and field events.

Brooke Wisdom cleared a record 4.05 meters to win the pole vault, while Olivia Pauly captured the 5,000 meters in a school-record 16:54.74. Alexis Pratt added a 200-meter victory, and the 4x400 relay posted the second-fastest time in program history as the Tommies strengthened their conference standing.

On the men's side, Johnny Bezdicek led the way with a program-record 21.54 to win the 200 meters, joined by Jayson Koel's runner-up finish that moved him to fourth all-time.
