Danehy also competed in the long jump, where she finished third with a leap of 4.33, behind her teammate Lauren Wood, who cleared 4.92 to sit second in the seven-participant field. DiBenedetto, meanwhile, tried her hand in the triple jump and leaped 8.68 to take third.  

Madden made the most of her first collegiate meet as she sealed up second in 55 hurdles with a time of 9.80. 

Amanda Walden had her best-showing of the season in her pair of events the 55M Dash (7.85) and 200 (28.00) she finished third. Alicia Bibi was also in the 200 alongside Walden. Bibi placed 11th with a time of 31.89. 

Jocelyn Trisciak rounded out the Rams runners in the 800 with a second-place showing behind a time of 2:44.27.
