For the men, both sophomore Anderson Lee in 800m run, and sophomore Craig Mauldin in the triple jump were able to win their events. Redshirt freshman Melvin Harris placed second in the high jump, and the relay team of freshman Nicholas Malliaras, freshman Brad Parsons, junior Curt Mitchell and freshman Malik Peacock combined for second in the 400 relay.
