Laura Hawkins won her second pole vault competition in two days in the invitational competition, clearing 12-5.5 to increase her provisional qualifier from the night before and the 4x100m relay team of Takydra Robinson, Yolanda Brown-Moore, Jernae Wright and Faith Rein joined the qualifier list with a provisional time of 44.61 in a second place finish. Yolanda Brown-Moore finished second in the women's 400m dash with an NCAA provisional time of 53.15.
