Freshman sprinter Djoonicka Buissereth (North Babylon, N.Y.) competed in both the 60 meters and the 200 meters, while the Wildcats also had freshman Lore Olakunle (Elkridge, Md.), junior Taylor Woodeshick (Nescopeck, Pa.) and freshman Gina Smith (Pittsburgh, Pa.) in action during the day.
 
Buissereth and Olakunle posted times of 7.99 and 8.02, respectively, in the preliminary heats of the 60 meters in Villanova's first event of the day. Buissereth later raced to a time of 26.88 in the 200 meters. In the field events, Woodeshick cleared a season-best height of 1.60 meters in the high jump and Smith recorded a mark of 10.63 meters in the triple jump.
