Andrew Hudson was the top collegiate finisher in the men's premiere 100m with a personal best time of 10.31. Norman Grimes was the top collegiate finisher in the 400m hurdles with a time of 51.87.

With a time of 3:06.41, the men's 4x400m relay team of Hudson, Jones, Crisp and Grimes ran the 10th best time in the country.
