A bulk of the Eagles competed in Saginaw where Eastern claimed 13 event victories, including seven by the women and six by the men. On the women’s side, Antonia Woods (Winchester, Ohio/Groveport Madison) led the way as she took gold in both horizontal jumps, winning the long jump with a best of 5.45m (17-10.75) and the triple jump with a personal-best bound of 10.94m (35-10.75). She was joined in field event wins by Micah Martin (Clinton Township, Mich./L’anse Creuse) in the high jump with a best of 1.70m (5-07.00) and Miranda Cadwell (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield South) in the shot put with her heave of 14.70m (48-02.75), a mark that ranks third in EMU history.
 
The final three victories for the women came on the track with a pair of newcomers claiming gold in the EMU track debuts. Sophomore transfer Sophie Emin (Easton, Pa./Easton Area/Rutgers) won the 800m in 2:20.17 while freshman Destiney Rose (Boerne, Texas/Boerne Champion) was the winner of the mile in 5:06.64.

One final top result came from Isabella Brent (Dearborn Heights, Mich./Divine Child), who was sixth in the weight throw at 15.91m (52-02.50), a mark that ranks ninth in EMU history.
 
On the men’s side, two sprinters captured a pair of wins on the day as Almighty Williamson (Baltimore, Md./Digital Harbor/Barton CC) took gold in the 60m hurdles in 7.90 while newcomer Gabe Singh (Toledo, Ohio/Sylvania Northview/Oakland) ran the 400m in 48.52 for the win. The duo teamed with Kyle Martin (Ypsilanti, Mich./Ann Arbor Huron) and Josh Flake (Redford, Mich./Oak Park) to run 3:22.03 and capture the win in the 4x400m relay to close out the meet.
 
In the field events, Brendan Hill (Huber Heights, Ohio/Wayne) won the high jump with a clearance of 2.03m (6-07.75) while Yvan Lopes Ribeiro (Nice, France/Lycée Honoré d’Estiennes d’Orves/American International) was the winner in the triple jump at 14.98m (49-01.75), a win that also gave the Eagles a sweep of the event coupled with Woods’ win in the women’s event. The final gold medal came from freshman Ryan Johnson (Springboro, Ohio/Springboro), who not only won the weight throw with a best of 20.85m (68-05.00), but also wrote his name in the all-time top 10 record book at No. 6.
