Freshman Vincent Navarro stepped up in his first college Long Jump competition and won the event with a jump of 21-6.25.

Freshman Peyton Kilheffer, an intermediate hurdler, stepped up to the 800m and took 3rd overall with a time of 2:00.44.

The relay team of Peyton Kilheffer, Victor Martinez, Damian Yepez, and Samuel Okerson also had a decent opener taking 3rd in 3:30.21.
