Running Event Qualifiers for Saturday's Quarterfinals

Notable Performances
- Simon Seid closed the book on his junior season with a clearance of 5.18m (17'0") to finish 30th in the pole vault. The men's pole vault was delayed until Tuesday cause of thunderstorms that hit the UNF campus and caused a delay close to five hours.

- Rachel Swain concluded her career with a leap of 6.04m (19'09.75") to place 16th in the long jump.
