Four Tigers recorded personal bests. Junior Ella Leroy earned seven in the shot put with a personal record throw of 11.54m. Sophomore Serena Yee set a personal best of 10.12m to earn 24th place in the triple jump.
 
Junior Sophia Livingston set two PRs in the 3000m (22nd, 11:35.50) and 1 mile (36th, 5:36.92). Sophomore Emily Wernli also set a personal best time in the 1 mile with 5:38.80 while crossing the finish line in 39th place, three spots behind Livingston.
