Caroline Jerotich posted another PR in the 3000-meter steeplechase invitational while moving into second all-time at WSU with a 10:14.15 to place third overall in a women's field that shattered the Whyte Track facility record on the evening.

Max Moore surpassed teammate Ronald Grueso Mosquera on his final throw in the men's discus to take the second spot with a personal-best mark of 52.27m.

Kolby Weiss cleared her two attempts of the day in the women's pole vault and finished first overall with a season-best finish at 3.80m.
