- Kyra Constantine automatically advanced to the NCAA Championships in the women's 400m dash by winning the first quarterfinal heat with a time of 51.70. That time ended up being the top qualifier on the day. Bailey Lear finished fourth in the final quarterfinal with a time of 52.94 which ended up 15th overall, so she will not advance. Kaelin Roberts was a scratch from the third heat with lower right leg soreness, so she too is out of the NCAA Championships in the 400m.
- USC's three women's 100m runners all advanced to nationals with ease. Lanae-Tava Thomas won the first quarterfinal with a time of 11.19 (+1.0), followed by Angie Annelus at 11.20 (+1.0) to automatically advance. TeeTee Terry then won the second heat with a time of 11.14 (+0.2) to automatically advance. After all three quarterfinals, Terry had the second-fastest qualifying time, Thomas the third and Annelus the fourth.
- Brendon Stewart had a time of 10.44 (+1.1) to finish seventh in the final men's 100m quarterfinal and 20th overall, so he did not qualify for Nationals in the event.
- Jemima Russell had a season-best time of 2:04.95 to finish sixth and Alyssa Brewer a time of 2:05.10 to finish seventh in the final women's 800m quarterfinal and did not advance to the NCAA Championships in the event, despite both having faster times than some of the automatic qualifiers as the top three in each heat plus next three best times advanced. Russell ended up 12th overall and beat two of the automatic qualifiers and Brewer was 14th and beat one of the automatic qualifiers. Russell moved from ninth to eighth on USC's all-time 800m list, which Brewer is seventh on with her best of 2:04.93.
- Isaiah Jewett automatically advanced to the NCAA Championships in the 800m by winning the first quarterfinal heat with a time of 1:46.33. Sam VanDorpe had a PR of 1:48.88 in the same heat to finish fifth and had to wait out the final two heats. He survived the second heat, but the fourth runner in the final quarterfinal ran 1:48.38 to push VanDorpe to 13th, one spot out of advancing to the NCAA Championships. Jewett ended up with the third-fastest qualifying time. VanDorpe's PR of 1:48.88 ended up being the top time by an NCAA male freshman runner this season.
