Senior Pat Monahan, junior Akeim Thomas, freshman Brendan Shaffer, and freshman Jalen Bailey teamed-up in the 4x100 meter relay for the Warriors and ran to a first-place finish in a time of 42.43. ESU also recorded the top time in the 4x400 meter relay as freshman Sean Roberts, Samuels, freshman Brendan Barton, and junior Andrew Schumacher finished with a time of 3:21.84.
 
Junior Jeremy Smith became the second Warrior to add his name to the PSAC qualifier list this season in the 10,000-meter race as he placed third with a season-best time of 33:05.34. Senior Jeremy Rapposelli finished in fourth with a personal-best time of 33:11.74 for ESU.
