The Trojan men swept the men's discus with school record-holder Racquil Broderick in the top spot with a best throw of 62.87m, coming within striking distance of his current record of 63.31m. Vincent Ugwoke got a mark of 58.63m in his Trojan debut to take second. Right behind Ugwoke was Mico Lampinen in the third spot with a mark of 57.37m in his collegiate debut.

Taking the momentum from a top-three finish, Lampinen then took first place in the men's hammer throw with a best mark of 64.24m. Matteo Mitchell started off his senior season strong with a personal-best throw of 63.49m to place second.
