Olivia Sturrup earned the Tiger's their lone first-place finish in the sprint events with a time of 26.41 in the 200-meter dash. Meghann Cullen clocked in at 8.52 in the 60-meter dash which was good enough for a fifth-place finish followed by a fourth-place finish in the 60-Meter Hurdles with a time of 9.97. 

ONU tallied seven top-four finishes in the distance competitions. Both second-place finishes were earned by Lindsey DiazDeLeon in the 600-meter race and Eleanor Fournier in the 3000-meter race. DiazDeLeon crossed the line at 1:42.02 and Fournier timed in at 10:55.59.
