Kennedy Alexander, Preston Coker, Robert David, Yusef Gibson, Zach Hamilton, Mya Holiday, Harmony Jones, Dante Miller, Taliah Wall and Magic Ward all earned five points each for the first-place finishes in their respective events.

For the second time in as many meets, David led all participants in the shot put. Ward and Hamilton also finished at the top of the events they bested last week, winning the 110m hurdles and the 800m run, respectively.
