Jasmine Roberts was the first Lion woman to earn a place on the podium since 2011 with a sixth place finish in the women’s triple jump with a school record mark of 12.61 meters (41′ 4 ½”). This effort is her second career All-American, as she was also an All-American in the indoor season.

Gage Bowles pushed his career All-American honor total to six with first team honors for an eighth-place finish in the long jump and a ninth-place finish in the triple jump.

Devon Sanders earned All-American honors in both the 4×100 meter relay and the 200 meters, thanks to a fourth place finish in the relay and a 12th place finish in the 200 meters.
