Jason Gómez led off with the 1,200-meter leg, Cebastian Gentil ran the 400 leg, Darius Kipyego then ran the 800-meter leg, and the final 1,600-meter leg was run by Nehemia Too. Oklahoma State and Washington broke the previous collegiate record in that event today too.

Still at the Arkansas Qualifier, Peter Smith won the 800-meter title with a time of 1:47.84 just .01 seconds off his personal best.
