Piper Jons, Cristal Cuervo, Jasmine Scott and Maya Tucker also set a school record in the 4x400m relay final with a combined time of 3:39.97, clinching the win for the Tigers. Jons was named the Most Outstanding Performer of the Championship after setting an ECAC record in the 200m final and placing first in both the 400m and 4x400m relay finals.

At the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Championships, the Tigers secured a sixth-place finish.
