Elliot Metcalf and Jackson Moran continued the strong track showing, finishing first and third in the 1500m. Metcalf set a personal best with a time of 3:44.48 to move to sixth all-time at Rice.
Over in the hammer throw, Rice claimed three of the top five spots with Cal Abdulky leading the way with a second-place finish. Sultan Bakare and Daniel Sowell added a fourth and fifth-place finish, both with personal best throws to enter the Rice top 10 all-time list.
