In the first event for the men, Isaiah Samoei led strong the whole race of the 3000m, and earned a spot to the National Championships, with an 8:44.14. Not long after, Catrell Butler ran the 60m high hurdles and posted an IWCC record with an 8.38, just missing the national mark by .07 seconds. Shennae Steele put up the third best time at the meet (7.74) in the 60m, which was enough for another IWCC record and trip to nationals.
In the 600m run, Nicolia Edwards and Banjo Jaiyesimi set new benchmarks for IWCC with a 1:31.85 and a 1:12.33. Troy Jones followed Jaiyesimi very closely with a 1:14.59, and all three marks were enough to secure spots in the national championships.
