Danielle Horter also met the provisional mark of 36:21.84 in the 10000-meter run with a second-place time of 35.48.84. Horter did not improve on her No. 22 mark of 35:15.36 from the Lee University – Fast Break Invitational on April 5.

The final Lady Flame to make the trek to the University of Virginia was Megan Adams. She placed 13^th in the 5000-meter Run with a time of 17:11.09.

At Georgia Tech, Letlhogonolo Magoro and Lily Hare recorded provisional-qualifying times in the 800-meter Run. Magoro placed 11^th at 2:11.48 and Hare was 12^th (2:11.67) to finish ahead of the 2:11.87 standard. Magoro's time is No. 42 among DII runners, while Hare's is No. 44.
