The Hornets posted 29 top-10 marks at Roanoke College, while the distance athletes secured 11 top-10 performances at Wittenberg. Saturday's efforts also featured an indoor women's 300m school record, as Rylee Turner improved her time to 41.81 and won the event at Roanoke College.

While Turner earned the top spot in the women's 300m, Madelyn Boyce posted 43.65 for second and Margo Fox clocked 45.05 for fifth.

In the women's 60m, Turner and Brianna Taylor advanced to Saturday's final as Lynchburg became the only school to qualify multiple athletes at the meet. Turner's 8.04 performance earned fourth place, while Taylor clocked 8.17 for eighth.

Aidan Hipp registered a new personal best in the men's high jump, setting a 6' 6¼" (1.99m) mark for second place and 31st on the Division III indoor qualifying list. Micah Leech followed behind for fourth place, clearing the 6' 2¼" (1.89m) bar.

Following a personal best on Friday, Antaveon Steele accelerated to an 8.47 finish in the men's 60-meter hurdles and claimed third place.

Parker Marshall soared to an individual victory in the men's 300m, crossing the line in 36.84, almost a second ahead of the field. The first-year Hornet also snuck inside the top five of the men's 200m dash, clocking 23.20 for fifth place. 

In field events, Demetri Hinton claimed second in the men's long jump (22' 1¾" or 6.75m), Margo Fox finished third in the women's high jump (5' 1" or 1.55m), and Ayeshia Watson placed third in the women's triple jump (35' 4" or 10.77m).

Three Hornets dipped under the 15-minute mark in the men's 5,000m, headlined by Johnathan Cobb's 14:39.95 personal-best performance. Cameron Sidebotham claimed a 14:53.11 performance for sixth, while Aidan Riggle crossed the line in 14:56.31for eighth.

Each of Lynchburg's six athletes in the men's 5k earned a personal best. With Wittenberg's track featuring a 300m oval, as opposed to the traditional 200m, performances can often improve.

Randy White bested the field in the men's mile, clocking 4:13.10 for first overall and improving two seconds from his Steemer Showcase performance last year. Daniel Rockey secured second place with a 4:14.13 result, cutting six seconds off his final lap.

Hannah Edwards registered the 20th-fastest 800m time in DIII with a 2:15.59 for second place in the field. The junior moved within two seconds of Hailey Smith's indoor record of 2:13.07.

In the men's 800m, Ryan Warner clocked a 1:55.35 personal best for sixth place.
