With competition happening in three different meets across two different states, the Blue Demons were able to pull together an impressive feat.

On Friday in Louisville, Alex Bernstein kicked off the day with a first place finish in the men's hammer throw, earning a final distance of 62.47m. The day concluded with Olivia Borowiak finishing the women's 5000m at the Mt. SAC Relays when she bested her own school record with a time of 16:19.58. Borowiak finished 11th overall in her event.

Saturday's slate in Louisville, Ky. consisted of 15 top-three finishes across events at the Jim Freeman Invitational. Among the top finishes, Darius Brown broke his own school record in the men's 110m hurdles event with a final time of 13.62.

Isabella Hilditch took first place in the women's 100m hurdles, earning a time of 13.65. Hilditch then followed up with a solid 200m performance when she finished with a time of 24.23.

Jetta Mays also had a strong showing in Louisville, as she ran the opening leg for the women's 4x100 relay, then took second in the 100m dash when she finished with a time of 11.58. Mays finished the meet when she earned a final time of 23.92 in the 200m race, which was good for second place.
