The men's 4x400m relay team continued to get faster clocking in at a season-fast time of 3:14.37.

In the men's 200m, David Neville's time of 21.36 was good enough for third place in the event, while teammates Marcus Thigpen and Wil Glover recoded new personal bests in the event. Thigpen then went on to claim fourth in the 60m with a time of 6.88.

Ryan Ketchum in the men's weight throw took sixth place with a new personal best mark of 18.61m (61-00.75).
