Leading the way on the final day was Caleb Anthony who took third place in the 110-meter hurdles with an NAIA 'A' standard time of 14.75 seconds. Anthony was the lone 'A' standard but was joined by Shauntis Lewis and the men's 4x400-meter relay team who hit the 'B' standard in the opening weekend of the season. Lewis punched his ticket to the outdoor national meet with a time of 1:52.65 in the 800-meter run. The men's 4x4 unit of Matt Sakeuh, Anthony, Isaac Cornfield and Darryl Robinson raced in with a time of 3:18.27.
Additional notable performances were landed by Daniel Gerber who took third in the 1,500-meter run, clocking in at 4:02.94. Robinson, along with helping the 4x400-meter relay team to an NAIA 'B' standard, added a fifth-place finish and a personal-best performance in the 400-meter dash, which saw him cross the finish line in 49:54 seconds. Jon DeHaan posted points for TU by taking third in the pole vault with a leap of 4.45 meters while Caleb Newcomer took seventh in the discus with a mark of 37.22 meters.
