Headlining the efforts on Saturday afternoon was middle-distance specialist and Senior Coree Woltering. Woltering, who has been battling injury in the early season, posted a time of 1:55 in the 800 to take second, and followed that performance with a 50.42 split in the 4x400 meter relay.

In the throws freshman E.J. Fridge turned in another great day with a pair of PRs in the discus (14111) and the shot (4510), and placing third in both.

Rounding out the individual notables, Brian White again cruised to another 200 meter win behind an effort of 21.86. White is currently ranked fourth in all of NCAA Division III in the 200-meter dash.
