Then, sophomore Jermaine Lowery recorded a 49.02 finish in the 400M dash and freshman Tashaun Hill posted a top-20 finish in the 60M hurdles (8.10).
Finally, in a non-IC4A event, the 4x200M relay team of Perkins, Hobwana and sophomores Kevin Wilbank and Idris Kasumu combined for a time of 1:29.61, finishing fifth in the event.
