At the conclusion of the championships, WSU's Micaela De Mello and Mason Lawyer were the women's and men's high point scorers, respectively.
 
It was all Cougars at the start of the day as the first three events resulted in WSU victories. Parker Duskin started it off with a season-best 7.71 seconds to capture the Men's 60m Hurdles title while De Mello claimed the Women's 60m Hurdles events in 8.00 seconds, the third-fastest time in the nation this season and just 0.01 seconds off the school record.

Junior Eli Lawrence claimed his first MPSF title as he captured the Men's Triple Jump with a winning leap of 15.42m (50' 7.25").
