On Friday, teams will compete in the weight throw, pole vault, high jump and triple jump. The squads will wrap up the aforementioned events on Saturday, before moving on to the running events.

Currently, both Abdullah's mark (55-7.75/16.96m) and McCarty mark (72-10.5/22.21m) rank second nationally.
