• The distance squad will head to Wake Forest, and the rest of the team will head to Florida. Action in Winston-Salem will begin at 8:40 p.m. on Thursday and 1:30 p.m. on Friday, while action in Gainesville will begin at noon on Friday and 10 a.m. on Saturday.
• The 800-meter run group is once again in the latest USTFCCCA Rankings, moving up two spots to No. 4.
• A trio of Wolverines set top-10 program times in the 800-meter run, with Camden Law finishing first (1:46.89) to come in at No. 5 on the program performers list and set the meet record for the event. Trent McFarland finished fourth (1:47.50) and Brendan Herger finished seventh (1:47.96) for the No. 7 and No. 8 marks on the program performers list, respectively.
• Freshman Josh Huisman continues to have a strong season, setting a personal-best mark (18.39 meters; 60 feet, 4 inches) in the shot put to finish eighth and post the No. 8 mark on the program performers list. Aiden Felty finished 12th, throwing for a season-best mark of 17.32m (57-2.25).
