The jumpers had a particularly strong performance, getting two first place finishes with Lexi Hale's 1.65-meter-high jump and Emma Upp's 10.75-meter triple jump.

On the track, the 4x100-meter relay team with Moriah Johnson, Alana Springer, Jenna Oriani and Kylee Marshall also secured a first-place finish after crossing the finish line with a time of 46.27 seconds.

Oriani would then go on to win the 400-meter race, running in 54.77 seconds.

Rounding out the Cardinals' first-place victories for the day was Emma Potter, who ran 25.24 in the 200-meter dash.
