Lienert finished second in the 400 meters with a time of 49.84 seconds, an AARTFC qualifier, and 40th on the DIII Indoor Qualifying list, while Colin Hascup joined the graduate student in the top five with a fifth-place result (52.54).
 
Mark Magyar got the Yellowjackets started on the track in the 60-meter hurdles, qualifying for the final with a seventh-place finish and 9.10-second time in the prelims, before clocking in just under nine seconds (8.995) in the final to place fifth.
