Jemison previously set the discus record (58.08m/190 feet, 6 inches) at the 2023 Big Ten Outdoor Championships.

• In the 800-meter run, Penelopea Gordon recorded a personal-best time of 2:04.78 for second place and the No. 7 mark in program history. Savannah Sutherland ran a career-best 23.33 seconds in the 200-meter dash to win the event and post the No. 2 mark in program history.

• Emma Yungeberg threw 47.97m (157 feet, 4 inches) in the javelin for the second-best mark in Michigan history while Elizabeth Tapper finished seventh in the shot put (15.71m/51 feet, 6.5 inches) to tie for the No. 6 program mark and Maria Deaviz finished third in the shot put (16.60m/54 feet, 5.5 inches) for the second-best U-M mark.
