The men moved up to sixth in the final standings after standing seventh after Day 1, while the women landed in seventh after starting Day 2 in sixth place.

Four Tiger student-athletes earned All-NCAC honors in recognition of top three finishes in their respective events. Senior Allison Walker (Columbus, Ohio/Academy) rounded out her career with a second-place finish in the hammer throw, freshman Kaitlynn Wesseler (Huber Heights, Ohio/Wayne) finished third in the women's pole vault, junior Ryan Resides (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota East) placed third in the javelin and junior Erik Larkin (Cincinnati, Ohio/Country Day) added a tie for third in the high jump.
