"The female multis competed well over both days with ups and downs, but they finished strong," noted head coach Andrew Basler.
 
Aubrie Gorski also had a personal-best in the heptathlon with 3972 points, while Jada Schuh finished the two-day event with 4067 points.

Samantha Satterfield was one position behind in sixth place as she helped accumulate three points for Milwaukee with a throw of 50.02 meters.
 
"Hammer throw went really well," added Basler. "Sam, Jamie, and Lauren Lietzke had good throws and are really establishing themselves in that event." Lietzke had a throw of 47.74m.
 
Madison Hughes and Anna Gallagher had six points for Milwaukee in the women's 5000 as Hughes picked up four points with an 18:30.55, with Gallagher notching an 18:57.37 in her first outdoor 5K.
 
Men's Update
In throws, Tony Bretall led Milwaukee in the javelin with a sixth-place finish to record three team points for Milwaukee as he recorded a 49.86m throw. Jack Misky also threw javelin and had a personal-best with a 43.64m throw.

"Today was not ideal weather for running distance with how hot it was with the wind," commented Basler on Hughes, Gallagher and Nadolski. "I think it impacted them as the race went on, I would have liked to have seen them in some better conditions, but the effort was there, and I was happy with the effort put forth."
