Will Stockley logged another national qualifying time in the 800 as he clocked in with a team season best time of 1:53.48. Alex Windham closed his season with a 1:54.52 mark in the 800.
Avery DeWolf Burton snagged a national qualifying time and personal record in the 1500 in 4:38.41. Aaron Jones posted a PB of his own in the 1500 at 3:58.10.
Ali Burns broke 12 minutes in the 3000 meter steeplechase for the first time in her carrer as she finished in 11:51.19. Alex Brittain posted a time of 9:43.26 in the men's steeplechase.
To cap the evening for Milligan, Evan Henson (15:10.15), Zimri Kuhn (15:28.91) and Pablo Rivas (15:31.83) competed in the 5k. Henson's time was a career best.
"Overall, a really good experience for our crew today," said head coach Chris Laye. "We had a bunch of PB's and some of our better career marks so I think we accomplished what we wanted. I really thought Alex had a great shot at the steeple qualifier, but he had an untimely fall that probably cost him. Proud of this crew, obviously, and excited to be heading to Gulf Shores in another week."
Milligan track is headed to Gulf Shores, Alabama for the NAIA Outdoor National Championships May 26-28.
