Shiloh Corrales Nelson earned her second Big West Qualifying mark in as many days in the shot put with her 13.13m throw.
 
The men notched two Big West Qualifying times in the 800m run between Andrew Jackson (1:52.22) and Mateo Joseph (1:52.39). Joseph's time was also a lifetime best. Jackson placed fourth overall and Joseph crossed the line at sixth.

Head Coach Nate Browne said of the weekend, "It's always a fun trip out to Westwood to compete in Drake stadium. The all-out assault by the distance women on the Women's top-10 list continues with Coach Newsom's group. It was also good to see Shiloh, Liam, and Josh work on to the top 10 list after a good indoor season. Our teams are starting to throw down some times/marks (we had 14 Big West marks this week) and we look forward to more next week in Irvine."
