"Christina has been really consistent this season and she had another good night," said HPU head coach Mike Esposito. "Manika's time was another national-class performance and continued her great season. We were really happy to get a four wins tonight – two for the men and two for the women – and the event came off great."

Fenske cleared 5-5.25 to win the high jump and Gamble ran a time of 58.98 to win the 400-meter hurdles. For Gamble, her time was just off the 58.56 she ran at the Pepsi Florida Relays earlier this month. Sophomore Erin Lonon ran a career-best 1:05.24 in the 400-meter hurdles.
