Graduate student Alex Watty (800-meter run), senior Preston Prather (5,000-meter run) and junior George Acuna III (400-meter hurdles) were winners. The quartet of freshman Jaidyn Foddrell, junior Ian Gardner, freshman Bradley Harris and graduate student Gerard Hearst won the 4x100-meter relay. Prather ran a season-best time of 15:24.40 in the 5,000-meters in route to his win.

The Mountain Lion women had two event victories: freshman Abbey Londeree in the 10,000-meter run and graduate student Emily Wallace in the 1,500-meter run. However, the throwing events paced the second-place team finish for CU. Freshman Meagan Poticher was second in the javelin with a personal-best toss of 27.83 meters.
