Parker Buske soared 12.19m in the Triple Jump for fourth, setting the tone for an excellent day for Huskies jumpers. Paola Brena placed fourth in the High Jump with a 1.73m clear, recording an NCAA provisional mark and moving up to No. 2 in NCAA DII. Julia Rowles added an Outdoor-best 1.63m clear to take seventh.
