The field consisted of mostly NCAA Division I athletes from Utah State, Boise State, Nevada, Weber State and more. Devers time also automatically qualified her for nationals and is the fastest time in the NAIA entering the day.
 
Sophomore Megan Bolton, who set the record in the 600 meters last week, broke her own record on Saturday. Bolton finished in a time of 1:33.61 as she took first place overall. Her time from last week was already an auto qualifier to nationals as she improved upon that, also ranking first in the NAIA entering the day.

Senior Alex Navarro grabbed fifth place in the 1,000 meter run as he snagged a provisional qualifying mark to nationals. Navarro finished in 2:20.48, but after time adjustments due to the track, his time was just 0.56 over the auto qualifying mark. He currently ranks fifth in the NAIA in the event.
