• Sophomore Jordan Wiesen (Fort Atkinson, Wis.) won the 200m with a personal-best time of 22.91 seconds. He placed second in Long Jump at 5.70m, and third in the 100m in 11.47 seconds.
• Sophomore Jacob Hefle (Germantown, Wis.) won the 400m with a finishing time of 51.82 seconds. 
• Sophomore Zeke Micheel (Salt Lake City, Utah) won the 1,500m in a time of 4:15.33.

• "This weekend was as much about team building and relationships as it was competition. This was the first overnight trip we've had since spring 2019. Looking at the results from this meet, I think we definitely grew closer and stronger as a team. 40 PR's, 10 event wins, and 10 WLC Top 10 marks lead to a women's win and men's runner-up finish against some teams we don't normally see." - Head Coach Eric Kramer

• The Warriors will compete next Saturday at the Wisconsin Private College Championships hosted by Carroll at the Dennis Punches Track and Field Complex in Waukesha. Field events begin at 10:30 a.m. and running events start at 11 a.m.
