Thursday

Coan would've broke the school record in the long jump with a 5.88m leap (19' 3 ½") as part of her 5107 overall points, but the wind was over the allowable limit for it to count. Koch finished right behind with 4992 points.

A quartet of Bulldogs finished with some of the top times in the 800m in program history, highlighted by Matthew Wigelsworth's time of 1:48.92 which ranks second in school history. The time was good for third in his heat 17^th overall in a field of 196. Chandler McGaha (1:49.70, fourth), Trey Harris (1:51.67, ninth) and Liam Dennis (1:52.03, twelfth) also finished high on the 800m Butler leaderboard.
