For the women, Tiosha Beasley led the Lady Tigers with a sixth-place finish and

Kotey Crowe took fifth-place for the women, clearing 2.55 meters.
Qualaun Reed posted two Top 10 finishes for the men, placing seventh in the
3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 10:13 and eighth in the 800-meter run
