On top of winning the gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles, Glasco raced to a runner-up finish with a personal-best time of 11.29 (+0.9) in the 100-meter finals and added another individual runner-up finish at the championships in the 400-meter hurdles with her time of 58.58.
Picking up second-team honors were Sweeney, Clemens, and Kinloch, as the trio joined Glasco to finish second overall in the 4x100-meter relay with a time of 44.61 at the conference championship meet.
On the men's side, Bennett and Hardy both earned a spot on the second team with runner-up finishes in the 110-meter hurdles and long jump events, respectively. Bennett placed second overall in the 110-meter hurdles with a new personal-best time of 13.84 (+1.3) and the third-fastest in CCU history, while Hardy won the silver medal in the long jump event with a personal-best leap of 7.26 meters.
