• Jemison, Laurencin and Sutherland all earned podium finishes, combining for 15 points to tie for 18th place in the team standings. Jemison finished in fifth place in the discus throw to set a new program record of 60.07m. Laurencin finished sixth in the 100-meter hurdles (12.86), just 0.01 seconds behind the fifth place finisher and improving upon her 2023 NCAA Outdoor Championship finish of seventh.
• Sutherland, the 2023 NCAA 400-meter hurdles champion, finished second overall in the semifinals with a personal-best time of 54.04 to set the program and Canadian national records.
