Keaton Daniel and Josh Sobota set school records for the men’s team.  In the pole vault, Daniel cleared 18 feet, 1.25 inches / 5.52 meters.  Sobota set a new UK standard in the shot put with a hurl of 66’5”/20.26m.  Masai Russell led the women with two individual victories, racing 23.51 seconds in the 200-meter dash and zipping 8.1 seconds in the 60m hurdles.  Russell also joined teammates Karimah Davis, Megan Moss and Yasmin Brooks with a winning time of 3:40.05 in the 4×400 relay.
