Senior Michael Cooley won the 200m with a time of 21.66. David Chaplin finished third with a time of 21.93.
Freshman Emmanuel Bor won the 800m with a time of 1:55.43. Bor also turned in a time of 4:08.10 in the mile run, good for a second place finish.
Agustus Maiyo finished in third (4:09.44) in the mile and second in the 3,000m with a time of 8:25.30. Titus Koeh finished third (8:31.35) in the 3,000m.
