The men's squad fell 78-68 but had 12 personal records, seven wins and three performances that crested the top-10 in school history. The women's team dropped the meet to VMI 87-51 yet had eight personal records, three wins and seven top-10 program performances.

Senior Malik Diggs set a new personal best in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.30 seconds to take first overall against VMI and seal the No. 2 spot in program history. Freshman Jessy Page and junior Mady Riegel also left their mark on The Citadel's all-time list with Page's weight toss of 49-7.25 earning the No. 3 position and Riegel's 47-1.75 toss moving her to No. 5.

Sophomore Clarence Richardson also had an impressive first-place finish in the 400-meter race with a personal best of 50.56, and both men's and women's 4x400-meter relay teams took first place for the day.
