The Aggie men's team had seven top-five finishes at the meet, including a second-place showing on the track from Matt Moreno in the 400-meter dash (49.09 seconds) and a third-place performance from Brandon Pugh who in the 5,000 (14:26.13)

Standifer, a freshman from Lake Elsinore, won her event by nearly 17 feet over Keeley Eldridge of Utah State, who was second (132-0). Standifer's mark of 148-9 was a PR by almost six feet and debuts her on the program's all-time list at No. 8. Her previous best was 143-0 at the Mondo Mid-Major Challenge at Sacramento State earlier this month.

Teammate Veronica Smart added one of the throwers' other runner-up showings with her mark of 45-5 in the shot put. Standifer took fourth (41-1.5) in the event.

On the men's side, throwers Brandon Greenberg and Matthew Bender picked up second-place performances. Greenberg was a close second to unattached competitor Jeremy Hines (53-7.75) in the shot put after going 53-0.25. Bender was second in the discus at 162-4, just behind winner Lucas Rowley (165-5) of Stanford.

MacLeod and Goins, both freshman with the Aggies, brought highlights on the track with their steeplechase efforts. MacLeod took fifth in 10:54.03 for a nearly 10-second PR that pushed her up a spot to No. 7 all-time. Goins was seventh in 11:09.96, a nearly 7-second career-best for her that improved her No. 9 all-time standing.

Other strong performances from the women's team included a second-place finish from freshman Holly Tokar in the pole vault. Tokar cleared 11-11.75 to tie for first with two others but finished second due to misses. Johanna Borst added another second for UC Davis in the high jump (5-3). Karlaina Gipson also went over at 5-3, finishing in a tie for third on misses.

Pugh went 14:24.68 in the 5K at the Aggie Open in March to break into the Aggies' top 10 at No. 10. He nearly bettered that mark on Friday with his third-place time of 14:26.13. Grayson Hough (14:43.78) was eighth in the 49-competitor field.

Moreno's second-place time in the 400 of 49.09 was another career-best mark for UC Davis. Nicholas Ratto was third in the 800 (1:54.34), Hawk Hammer was fourth in the pole vault (14-4) and Jelani Legohn took fifth in the 400 hurdles (55.59).
