At the Beach Invite in Long Beach, Calif., Tripp Piperi became the second-highest performer in the shot put with a toss of 21.01/68-11.25, good enough for the seventh-best attempt in program history.

At the Michael Johnson Invite in Waco, senior Shay Petty topped her previous personal best (4.15/13-7.25) with a mark of 4.22/13-10 to become the fifth-highest performer in pole vault in Longhorn history. Chris Ntreh (100m) and Anne Sofie Kirkegaard (400H) each set new personal-records with Kirkegaard taking sixth-place in the 400 hurdles, while Claudine Blancaflor took the runner-up spot in the 1500m.
