Junior thrower Maura Kimmel also broke her own program record in the shot put with a toss of 16.28m.
Junior pole vaulter Sean Clarke also rewrote the school record books by clearing 5.40m, breaking his own record.
Wilson, Kimmel, and Clarke each won their respective events.
Additional standout performances by the Red & Blue women at the meet include senior hurdler Meghan Barnes’ winning 8.69 time in the 60m hurdles, the third-fastest in school history; sophomore distance runner Alyssa Condell’s victory in the 5000m with a time of 17:14.03; junior sprinter Cecil Ene’s victorious 7.68 time in the 60m; and sophomore middle distance runner Melissa Tanaka’s triumphant 2:52.59 time in the 1000m.

The men’s program finished second at the indoor and outdoor Heps—their best indoor finish in 16 years and best outdoor performance since 2005.
