Ezra Lewellen and Andrew Roman joined Niswander as individual champions on Saturday. Lewellen won the 60 meters and crossed the line at 6.79. Roman won the pole vault event with the freshman vaulting his collegiate best 4.55m.

Cody Loshe also placed in the pole vault with a third-place vault of 4.45m. Kaden Kruer led the 'Dons in the 60 meter hurdles with a third-place finish and a time of 8.86.
