After such a strong day 1, the Jumbos looked to continue the trend of PRs. Leading off the meet for the Jumbos were the two hurdle finalists. Ikenna Acholonu ran a season-best of 7.82, narrowly missing the finals, finishing in 11th place, while Trevor Donadt couldn't quite match his 7.82 from the day before, running 7.95 to finish 13th.

Senior Captain Dave Sorensen then toed the line, looking to hit the NCAA provisional time that he missed by just .04 seconds the week before. He accomplished this spectacularly, running a PR of 4:12.43 to place 13th on the NCAA list and place in 10th place.

Next up was Sophomore Billy Hale, running in the 800 finals. Billy nearly matched his PR from the day before, running a gutsy 1:55.10 to place 8th and score

Sophomore Andrew Longley shaved another .01 off of yesterday's 400m PR, running the fastest 400m that the program has seen in 3 years in 49.44, to place 8th place and grab another point for the team.

Selected Jumbos will run next weekend at the ECAC Championships at Harvard, looking to attain or better NCAA qualifying marks.
