Jaren Holmes recorded a 16.40m (53' 9.75") to win the triple jump finals at the Michael Johnson Invitational. The senior is now fourth in on TCU's all-time outdoor records list, and his mark is No. 7 in the NCAA this season.
Gracie Morris rewrote a third school record, this time in the 800m. Morris' kick propelled her from third to first in the final 300m as she ran a 2:03.97, her personal-best by over one second and the 21st-fastest time in the NCAA this season. She has now been a part of the 800m, 1500m and DMR school records this season.

The men's 4x400 team of James, Maketa, Ethan Brown and David Seete clocked a season-best 3:04.30 to finish third overall, currently tied for the No. 24 mark in the NCAA this season.
