Running 14.18 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles, Regan Thorne broke her own program record, which she had set just three weeks ago, while also securing an NCAA provisional mark in the event.

Sakara Harrison continued her impressive season with a standout performance in the women's 400. Running a 56.21, she is now seventh all-time in program history.

Eireann Donohoe moved up in Western's top-10 list with a mark of 5.79 meters (19 feet-0.00 inches) in the long jump, tying for sixth all-time in program history.

Braxton Walk, placing third in the men's long jump with a leap of 7.27m, is now eighth all-time in program history. Scott Grable also moved into the top 10 with a leap of 7.25m for ninth all-time in program history.
