The 4x100m relay team of Maggie Middaugh, Mia Wright (Liverpool, N.Y.), Becca Schultz (Grand Island, N.Y.), and Skylar Savage (Attica, N.Y.) broke the program record and placed sixth with a time of 49.86 seconds. Brianne Repolio (Haddon Heights, N.J.) broke the program record and placed fourth in the javelin with a 29.11m toss. Kristen Oliver (Massena, N.Y.) took fourth in the hammer throw with a launch of 46.0m. Repolio and Oliver were also named to the ECC Weekly honor roll. Freshman Alana Cawthon placed seventh in the shot put with a launch of 11.21m, ranking fourth in program history. Kylie Piekarski (Lancaster, N.Y.) placed ninth in the 5,000m with a PR of 19:28.42. Wright also took eighth in the 400m, finishing in 59.97 seconds.

For the men, CJ Johnson (Baltimore, Md.) continued his strong season with a fifth-place, program-record-breaking performance in the 1,500m, logging a time of 3:57.31. The junior was named to the ECC Weekly Honor Roll on Monday. Adam Kamagate (Hilton, N.Y.) logged two top ten finishes, first placing ninth in the 110m hurdles, crossing the finish line in 16.18 seconds. The senior also finished eighth in the 400m hurdles, coming in at 1:00.46. Daemen's 4x100 relay team of Owen Dernbach (Alden, N.Y.), Zayvion Davis (Lansing, N.Y.), Devon Mendez (Hartford, Conn.), and Seth Connery (North Tonawanda, N.Y) placed fourth with a time of 44.36 seconds.
