King recorded her second-ever 800m in the Yellow and Blue, last running the event to open her freshman campaign in 2016 (Tulsa Duals, March 18-19, 2016).

Propst finished the 800m with her third personal-best reset of the season, cutting a total of 10.14 seconds from her best prior to the season (set back in 2016 at the Tulsa Duals, 2:29.37).

Freshman Blake Iverson was one of four Jackrabbits at Howard Wood Field who finished the weekend two-for-two with personal-best mark resets. The Maple Grove, Minn. native, along with unattached freshman Daniel Burkhalter trimmed their best marks in both the 800m on Friday (Iverson: eighth-1:54.43, Burkhalter: 21st-1:57.28) and 1,500m on Saturday (Iverson: 14th-3:59.93, Burkhalter: 12th-3:58.59).

Fellow unattached freshman Trevor Begeman also reset two event marks, adding 2-01.00 feet to his hammer throw on Friday (16th, 144-00.00) and 1-04.50 feet to his shot put on Saturday (fourth, 53-03.00). His best in the shot put would be ranked No. 10 all-time for the school if he were attached.
