• In the women's weight throw, senior Jill Shippee registered a season-best throw of 20.05 meters to place third.
• Senior Anna Keefer ran an indoor PR of 24.16 in women's 200 meters, placing 13^th overall in that event.
• Sophomore Sydney Banks tied for second in the long jump with a best of 1.72m.

Tar Heel distance runners competed at Liberty, where Paige Hofstad won the women's 3000 meters in a time of 9:26.25 and Mady Clahane placed fourth.
