Mahkayla Hart took home the first and only PB-mark of the day for NC State, earning a fourth-place finish of 13.21m. Hart also took part in the women's hammer throw and turned in a performance of 45.28m to snatch fifth.
DISTANCE
The success of the day carried over from the field to the track, as Daniel McGoey clocked in at 14:19.52 in the men's 5000m to take home first place.
MIDDLE-DISTANCE
