White finished 14th in the hammer (53.12 M/174'3"), which is good enough for the conference lead, and 17th in the discus (44.35 M/145'6"), which is the third-best mark in the SoCon early this outdoor season.

Henderson's time was the 15th-fastest overall of the day, including those who participated in the fast section. He also finished 10th in the participation 200 (22.12), and teamed with Quan Myers, Pete Reed and Aron Long to finish fourth in the 4X100-meter relay (41.90).

Desmond Weinberg-Jones had a strong day as well, including a ninth-place finish in the main draw of the 400-meter hurdles (55.87). Weinberg-Jones also finished seventh in the participation sections of the 110-hurdles, timing in at 15.39 seconds.

Lee Warren was seventh in the fast section of the 110-meter hurdles, timing in at 14.85, four spots ahead of Brian Donna's 11th-place result (15.20). Pete Reed was 11th in the 100-meter participation (10.94) and 23rd in the 200 (22.45).
