- Zaresha Neal threw a personal best 171-4 (52.23m) in the discus at Virginia. That distance was a personal best by almost 14 feet and ranks fourth in program history. Only one thrower in the Mid-American Conference had tossed the discus further this year entering the weekend.
- Kaila Butler threw the hammer 204-6 (62.33m) to place fifth in a highly-competitive field in Virginia. The field featured four of the top 15 and seven of the top 35 hammer throwers in the country. All nine competitors in the event rank in the top 50 in the country.
