Riley Chamberlain is currently No. 10 in the country in the mile after her 4:33.14 time in Arkansas, good for No. 4 in school history. Cierra Tidwell Allphin posted a mark of 1.84m/6-0.5 at BYU's second home indoor meet to place herself at No. 10 in the high jump.

Caleb Witsken and Casey Clinger lead all Cougars at No. 4 in the nation in their respective events.
