In the same event, juniors Ashbrook Gwinn (10:38.14) and Clarissa Modde (10:40.26) took home third and fourth place, respectively, for the Eagles.
- Junor Molly McCabe also notched a facility record in the 800m with her time of 2:08.01. Her time was also her best-ever on an outdoor track and will qualify her for the ACC Championships. While McCabe took first in the event, sophomore Gianna Bender claimed fourth place with her time of 2:15.13. Senior Christina Kyritsis posted a time of 2:18.25, finishing 11th and earning a collegiate-best time.
- Freshman Julia Lyons had an impressive day on the track and in the field events. In the 100m, Lyons grabbed fifth place overall, crossing the line in 12.38 seconds. Lyons also finished second place overall in the long jump, leaping for a personal-best distance of 5.81m (19-0.75).
- Also in the sprints, senior Robin Gross turned in a lifetime-best performance in the 200m, winning the event with her time of 25.44. The victory was Gross' first in her collegiate career, albeit after running in the second-fastest heat of competition.
- The young 100m hurdles squad for the Eagles had a successful day of performances. Freshman Anna Atkinson posted a collegiate-best time of 14.90, finishing third, while freshman Emma Taylor notched a personal best of 14.99 with her fourth-place finish.
- The 400m trio of sophomore Johanna Celli, freshman Monica Heil and Gross all earned season-best marks with their performances. Celli took home second place overall in 56.87, Heil third in 56.99 and Gross fifth in 57.47.

Vaughn's victory was the first of her collegiate career.
- Not only did Vaughn and Leff claim first in their respective events, but the Eagles were also able to sweep the top three places in each event. While Vaughn won the 5K, sophomore Delia Hayes took second place in 18:14.18, and senior Amanda Rickert third in 18:20.30. Behind Leff in the steeplechase were sophomore Sarah Marvin in second (11:19.40) and senior Danna Levin in third (11:29.94).
