He took the 100-meter dash in 10.76 seconds, won the 200-meter dash in 21.37 seconds and teamed with Trey Huha, Micah Good and Kyle Rauchut to win the 4x400-meter relay in 3:19.39.

Kingerski won the javelin with an NCAA provisional mark of 61.13 meters to set a new career-best in the event. His previous best was 58.92 meters, which he set last week in the 2024 outdoor opener.

Hyatt took second in the pole vault with a career-best and NCAA provisional clearance of 5.00 meters, marking the first time in his career he has cleared the 5.00-meter mark in competition.

SRU put three men in the top five in the vault with Bradon Schneider placing third at 4.55 meters and Andy Huynh finishing fifth at 4.55 meters.
 
The Rock also got an NCAA provisional mark and a win from Joshua Gose in the shot put with Gose landing a throw of 16.64 meters to match the NCAA mark on the dot. His effort ranks No. 11 in Division II so far this spring. Seaton Wozniak took third in the shot put with a mark of 16.09 meters to give SRU two in the top three. Gose also took fourth in the discus with a PSAC mark of 44.73 meters. His brother, Zach Gose, was sixth at 43.81 meters and Wozniak also hit the PSAC standard in ninth with a toss of 43.27 meters.

SRU's PSAC qualifying efforts in the field were capped by a pair of top three finishes in the triple jump. Ian James won the competition with a leap of 13.89 meters and Zack Duda took third with a mark of 13.68 meters.
 
Matthew Crow and Cade Adams led SRU in the hurdles with Crow taking third in the 110-meter hurdles in 14.81 seconds and Adams finishing sixth in the 400-meter hurdles in 55.97 seconds, both good for PSAC qualifiers.
 
The final PSAC marks of the weekend came in the mid-distance races, where SRU had two runners hit the standard in both the 800-meter run and the 1,500-meter run. Devon Navaroli hit the mark in both events, first finishing 16th in the invite section of the 1,500m Friday in 3:59.87 and then coming back to place ninth in the 800m Saturday in 1:56.50.
