Junior Kaele Leonard placed herself on the edge of national qualification with a time of 59.63 seconds in the women's 400-meter dash, the fastest by a UAA competitor this year and 16^th in Division III.  The time was good for a 14^th-place finish in the event at the meet.  Junior Theresa Ford added a strong performance in the high jump, finishing second by clearing a height of 1.60 meters, the third-best in the UAA and tied for 32^nd in Division III this year.  Ford's mark also matched the 10^th-best indoor high jump in the program's history.
