Some of the highlights of the meet included a 2nd place finish in the javelin for both the men and women with Chris Johnston and Abby Majekodumni both getting national qualifiers. The men's 400m hurdle event was dominated by GCC with a gold medal performance and a 3rd place finish by Greg Taylor and Ali Ejaz respectively, also getting national qualifiers. The men's 4x400m relay team finished off the meet in grand style with a hard fought battle that ended in another gold medal performance with a win and national qualifier by the team of Greg Taylor, Ali Ejaz, Willie Anderson and Brian Keene.
