Richard Floyd (14.22), David Gilstrap (14.34) and Chevis Armstead (14.68) all finished in the top-17 as well in the event.

Winston Lee turned in a stellar performance in the 100-meters, taking sixth overall, but second among those competing collegiately. Teammates Kashif Miller (10.86/22nd) and Zack Warden (10.90/24th) were also competing.

The Orange also won the 4x100-meter relay as well, with Crittenden, Miller, Warden and Lee racing to a time of 40.13 seconds and taking the win.

Miller and Warden later ran the 200-meters, taking 25th and 29th respectively.

On the women's side, Rebecca Robinson turned in a strong performance, taking 10th - fourth among collegiate competitors in the 200-meters, with a time of 24.22. She was followed by Shaina Harrison (24th/24.84), Victoria Parker (48th/25.78), Brittany Belo (53rd/26.05) and Danielle Delgado (55th/26.18).

Robinson would later go on to finish third in the 400, crossing the line in 54.46. Belo also competed, taking 12th (56.96).

Harrison also ran the 100-meters, taking 12th in 11.76 seconds.

Tia Thevenin led the way in the 100-meter hurdles, crossing the line in 13.75 seconds, which was good for eighth place. Delgado finished on her heels in 13th.

In jumps, Jabari Butler finished sixth in the high jump, clearing 2.05 meters, while Randall Johnson took 10th, finishing at 2.00 meters. Pascal Bastein competed in the triple jump for SU, taking 11th with a mark of 13.76 meters.

At Princeton, the 'Cuse women put two runners in the top-eight of the women's 5000-meters. Mary Malone led the way taking fourth (16:56.97). Rebecca Skodis followed closely behind with a time of 17:14.75, taking eighth. Emily Nist (1746.52) and Chelsie Pennello (18:05.92) finished 23rd and 35th respectively to round out the Orange in the field.

Syracuse Juris Silenieks had the best finish for the men at the event, taking fifth (third among collegiate competitors) in the 5k. He finished in 14:28.55.

Paul Lovell took sixth in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:53.20.
