Sophomore Seth Brosseau earned the win in the men's shot put, throwing a distance of 17.40m/57-1.
Senior Kelly Moran had a productive day for the jumps team. She set a new personal best in the triple jump (12.37m/40-7) moving her to sixth on the all-time indoor list. This followed a second place finish in the long jump.
The Hoosiers saw a win in the women's high jump from Josie Page. She set a new personal best (1.77m/5-9.75), tying Hope Purcell for sixth on the Hoosier all-time indoor list.
Jay Hmurovich finished second in his first competition as a Hoosier in the high jump.
In the pole vault, the Hoosiers saw finishes in the top five on the men's and women's side. Tyler Carrel earned the win for the men (5.20m/17-0.75) while Kailen Kramer and Isabel German finished third and fifth, respectively in the women's competition.
The Hoosiers saw plenty of top finishes on the track through the meet.
In the 600m, the women's team swept the top four spots, with Veronica Hargrave (1:29.20) nearing her personal best.
