Three pair of one-two finishes highlighted the Eagles first day. Lauren Quaintance and Courtney Calka finished first and second, respectively, in the 1,500-meter run after Quaintance made an all-out sprint to the finish with less than 200 meters remaining. The teammates crossed the finish line less than three-quarters of a second apart from one another.
