Elon continued to post improvements across the track. In the 1,500 meters, Abby Beville recorded a personal-best 4:21.75 to move into No. 6 all-time at Elon while finishing 33rd. Julia Bell also posted a personal best in the event at 4:28.10.
 
In the sprints, Amelie Meier (11.92) and Teri Pridgen (12.02) each ran personal-best times in the 100 meters, moving into No. 7 and No. 10, respectively, on Elon's all-time list. Mary Sollars added a personal-best effort of 56.81 in the 400 meters.
