    • 60H Finals -  Donovan Robertson just rocketed down the track to win the boys race in 7.57 seconds, a National Record performance!!  Dior Hall won the girls race with a time of 8.28.
    • 60 Dash Finals - Shayla Sanders rolls to victory with a US#2 All-Time clocking of 7.21.  She also took down the Dempsey record.  Levonte Whitfield won the boys race with a US#1 clocking of 6.71 with a tight finish.  Tatum Taylor was 2nd in 6.71.  Leshon Collins was 3rd in 6.74. 
    • Girls 2 Mile - Erin Finn led almost the entire way, fighting to keep the lead at times, until the bell lap.  At that point Haley Pierce and Molly Seidel both made moves to gain the lead, with Pierce winning the fight.  Seidel remained patient and passed on the final turn before pulling away for the win with a very fast US#1 time of 10:13.  Pierce held on for 2nd in 10:14, Erin Finn was 3rd in 10:18 and Wesley Frazier was 4th in 10:21.
    • Boys 2 Mile - Daniel Vertiz took it out and Connor Rog took a turn at the front before Vertiz took over the lead again about 1200 into the race.  Going into the mile Vertiz keeps the pace up as Andrew Gardner begins to move up.  Thomas Graham makes a big move after the mile, with Tony Smoragiewicz sitting in 3rd.  Graham, Vertiz and Smoragiewicz break away with a lap of 65!  Jake Leingang made contact with the break group just after the split.  Vertiz took the lead back and Smoragiewicz went with him.  Leingang is staying with the group as well.  Vertiz suddenly guns it with a lap to go, with Leingang and Smoragiewicz trying to come back.  On the last turn Vertiz still kept the lead, growing the gap.  Leingang had a huge gear to pull some back on the final stretch but he runs out of room as Vertiz takes the win with a US#2 time of 8:59 for a meet record.  Leingang was also timed in 8:59.  Darren Fahy with a huge kick for 3rd in 9:01.
