  • 4:34.06 was the cut off time for the “little q” in the women’s mile with Northern Arizona’s Maggi Condon grabbing the final spot.
     
  • Tennessee’s Jacious Sears, Georgia’s Kaila Jackson and LSU’s Brianna Lyston all ran 7.07 to advance to the women’s 60 meter finals. That’s tied for the fastest time collegiately this year.
