Sprints/Hurdles
Ibrahim Oduong stole the show for the Dragons in the men's 400m dash. The senior clocked a school record time of 47.44 to finish runner-up in the race. Oduong's record bests the previous MSUM record set by Dragon great Derek Bredy in 2013. The time would have been a facility record had it not been for Mary's Raheem Taitt-Best, who finished ahead of Oduong with a mark of 47.39.
Hunter Miller would register a new season-best in the 60m hurdle preliminaries with a mark of 9.12. In the men's 60m dash,
David Daniels (6.96) and
Jerome Crayton (7.08) would qualify for the event final with Crayton's mark being a new personal-best. Daniels finished third in the finals heat with a 6.98 time.
Shavantae Roberts would place fourth in the same race on the women's side with a 7.78 finals time. Crayton would win the 200m later in the day with a 22.02, another indoor personal-best for the senior.
