Sofia Dodge added three more points for the team with a sixth place result and a height of 11'3.50" in the pole vault.
Christabelle Mulcahy put herself in prime position to add to the team's point total on Saturday as she qualified for the finals in the 100m hurdles as her time of 14.20 seconds was good for fifth in the prelims.
On the men's side, eight of the team's 14 points came in the decathlon as

Arik Johnson took fifth to score three points.

Peyton Enders just missed making it three CSP athletes in the points as his 5202 points were good for ninth.
Eben Mundfrom was the top finisher for the men as his mark of 181'4" in the hammer throw was good for third and six points, earning him All-NSIC honors.
