Also standing out for West was Mike May, who posted a winning time of 23.67 seconds in the 200-meter dash. Connor Manley then completed a sweep of the dashes by taking the 400-meter dash in 52.19 seconds.

Matt Garvey continued the onslaught by winning the 800-meter run with a time of 2 minutes, 1.10 seconds, and Matt Bee won the mile in 4:35.54, the 4x200-meter relay was third in 1:37.60, Jon Letts was third in the high jump with a leap of 5-10 and Corey Smith was third in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 11 feet.
