The Hoosiers recorded several personal bests and multiple event wins across the day.
"The three men that raced tonight (Brayden Henkle, Abe Eckman, and Dylon Nalley) did a fantastic job of competing in their respective races," said associate head coach Eric Heins. "They showed a lot of determination and competitive spirit and took advantage of the opportunity to race against high level competition."
The day started in Terre Haute, Indiana, for the first day of the men's decathlon. After day one of competition, Garrett Messer sits in first after event wins in the shot put (14.39m/47-2.5) and the 400 meter (49.89).

At Wake Forest, Dylon Nalley ran a 14:16.81 to finish sixth in the men's 5,000.
