Jack Muldoon finished second in the 800 meters, ending the race in 1:54.33. Liam Maurillo set a personal best with a 1:54.50, good for fourth place. Jack Fischer placed sixth, finishing in 1:54.94.
Eli Roth took third place in the mile with a final time of 4:20.63. John Teachman, who set a new school record a week ago, finished third in the javelin, reaching 58.59 meters.
The men's 4x400 meters relay finished in fifth place overall after running a 3:24.00.
