In the 60-meter dash, Hodge finished 14th with a time of 7.20 and narrowly missed qualifying for ECAC Championships in that event as well. The qualifying time for ECACs is 7.10.
Freshman
Roshane Wright placed 19th in the 400-meter dash with a time of 51.51. He also narrowly missed qualifying for ECACs, which has a qualifying time of 51.00. Wright also was 10th in the long jump with a distance of 6.09 meters.
In other field events, sophomore
