Taylor Beard cleared 1.79m (5-10.50) in the high jump, a personal-best mark which outpaced the field and sits as the No. 2 indoor mark in the nation early in the season.
 
Malin Smith took top honors in the shot put, finishing atop the board with a heave of 15.69m (51-05.75). It was her best throw indoors since hitting a personal-best mark of 15.95m (52-04.00) at the 2019 American Indoor Championships.
 
Rachel Coghill cleared 4.00m (13-1½) in women's pole vault, which marks a new personal best overall, beating out her previous mark of 3.91m (12-10) back in 2019 at the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational outdoors. Her best indoor mark of 3.90m came at the Rod McCravy Memorial at Kentucky on Jan. 25, 2020.
 
The Bearcats also racked up a number of podium finishes, most notably was Ellie Leather, who posted second in the 3,000m with a time of 9:46.07, which marked a new personal best.
