She also took the MW Women's Triple Jump title after submitting a school and MW record-setting distance of 13.71m (44'11.75"). She also jumped a second-best all-time mark of 13.64m (44'9") in the same day, and the title is Sjostrand's second of the weekend. Sjostrand was also named Women's Performer of the Meet for winning two titles in as many days, and now has two All-MW selections to her name for the Triple Jump and Long Jump
- Schubert finished sixth overall in the Pentathlon on Day One after a solid all-around performance that saw her finish third in the High Jump with a mark of 1.70m (5'7") and included three more top ten event finishes in the competition.
