He achieved a leap of 7.22 meters in the long jump and completed the 400-meter dash in 49.59 seconds.

Devin Boggs also contributed to the record-breaking performances with his effort in the 3,000 meters, clocking a time of 9:15.38. Robby Biesenthal followed closely with a time of 9:16.90, marking it as the second-best performance in school history for that event.

In other events, Melvin Hodge won the weight throw with a distance of 16.85 meters. Deon Rogers secured third place with a throw of 16.35 meters, which ranks fifth in Illinois College history. Saul Hernandez delivered a shot put performance measuring 14.81 meters, ranking fifth best for IC, while Hodge's shot put reached 13.84 meters.

Adam Hernandez finished third in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.69 seconds.
