Delhi athletes had a great day compiling a number of top-five finishes. The sole first-place finish for the women's team came from Sabrina Richards who won the 400-meter dash in a time of 1:03.26, more than a full second ahead of the runner-up.

Kadie-Ann Whyte placed second in the 60-meter dash with a time of 8.19 seconds.
In events other than sprints, Kristina Messler placed second in the 3000-meter run with a time of 11:31.85. That time ranks her number eight in program history. Also posting a runner-up finish was Kitty Messina in the shot put with a toss of 11.22 meters.
For the men, freshman Deron Davis continued to look solid, winning the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.03 seconds. He was followed by teammate Mickenson Simon in third place with a lifetime best of 7.23 seconds to break into the Delhi all-time top 10 list.
