Aisha Thomas lowered her own best time in the 400-meter dash. She finished just short of advancing to the finals with a time of 56.86. She just missed breaking the record for the 60-meter dash with a 7.73 time, .02 seconds of former 49er Monique Reese's mark. Danielle Taylor was the other member of the women's team to break a school record. She finished 10th in the pole vault after clearing a height of 10'7.5", which bettered the record she had set last weekend.
