Junior Jacqueline Appenheimer recorded a pair of top 10 finishes as she took fourth in the women's 1,500-meter final with a time of 4:46.85 and placed ninth in the women's 800-meter race, crossing the finish line in 2:22.52. Appenheimer was one of two racers to place in the top 10 of the women's 800 as senior Taylor Heschke claimed fourth with a time of 2:19.78.
