Freshman Kendall Evans also finished as the second collegian and fifth overall in the 200 meters, while freshman Teresa Bell was second among college athletes and third overall in the 800 meters.
For the men, freshman Cole Tucker finished second in the 400 meters, while freshman Grant Duin was second among collegians and third overall in the 800 meters, freshman Rob Marin was second in the 60 hurdles and freshman Kevin Wills was second in the high jump.
