Freshman Gus Kasun broke the school freshman heptathlon record, previously held by Joe Keys, with a score of 4692. Kasun achieved personal bests in six of the seven events en route to breaking the freshman record. His mark also ranks No. 8 overall in school history.
There were nine top 10 all-time marks achieved and 40 personal bests at the conference meet.
