NOTABLES
- Natnael Weldemichael claimed a spot on the podium as he placed third overall in the men's 1,500-meter run with a personal best time of 3:55.23. Colton O'Hara was right behind him in fifth at 3:56.60, another personal record. The two are now ranked seventh and 10th in the event in the Horizon League.
- Meredith Goff ran to a fifth-place finish in the women's 100-meter dash with a 11.96 performance. The showing was tied not only her personal best, but also her NKU school record in the event. The time also ranks second overall in the Horizon.
- Cameron Bitterman added a fifth-place finish in the women's 200-meter dash with a personal record of 24.75 overall. With the strong showing, she is now ranked first overall in the conference in the event.
- Sierra Kendall posted a fourth-place performance in the women's 400-meter hurdles at 1:05.09. To go with being fourth at the meet, she is also now fourth in the Horizon in the event.
- Erica Durst crossed the line in fifth overall in the women's 800-meter run at 2:18.39, a personal record. She was followed closely behind by Grace Biddle in seventh with a time of 2:19.56. The duo is now slotted in at seventh and 10th overall in the conference in the event, respectively.
- Biddle also added a sixth-place finish in the women's 1,500-meter run at 4:41.60. It was another personal record for the freshman and makes her the fourth ranked student-athlete in the event in the conference.
- Kierra Morris finished tied for fifth in the women's long jump with a best leap of 5.67-meters, the fifth-best mark posted in the conference this year. The only reason the mark was not a new personal record was due to high wind during the event.
- Julia Pohl also tied for fifth in the women's high jump with a best mark of 1.60-meters.
- The women's 4x100 squad of Goff, Bitterman, Andrea Armstrong and Erin Starkes came in fifth overall as well with a time of 46.71. It is the fastest time ran by a Horizon League squad so far this outdoor season.
- Olivia Kennedy put up a seventh place showing in the women's 400-meter dash as she clocked in at 58.01. The time was good for a personal best and now ranks her second overall in the Horizon.
