She took third in the event in 15.33 seconds, a new PR and the third-best time in school history. It is also the fifth-best time in the MIAC to date.
 
Junior Anna Wagner also improved on her personal best and cemented her place in school history. She finished third in the triple jump with a mark of 10.88 meters – the fifth-best mark in school history. In the 400-meter hurdle race, Sundstrom took second in 1:06.59, the fourth-best time in the MIAC this season. Kiminski took third in 1:09.78, and Karly Betterman rounded out the top five in 1:11.82.
