Moving to the Beach Invitational, sophomore Brandon Bolen (Solon, Ohio – Solon) took part in both the 100m dash and the 200m dash, turning in times of 10.97 and 22.06, respectively. Freshman Aitor Ekobo (Madrid, Spain - Jose Luis Lopez Aranguren Secondary School) also ran in the 200m dash, posting a time of 22.21. Senior Mason Waynes (Kenosha, Wis. – Bradford) led Eastern in the 400m dash, turning in a top-20 finish by placing 15th with a career-best time of 48.06.

In the 800m run, senior Scott Bradley (Battle Creek, Mich. – Lakeview) posted a top-10 finish, taking eighth after crossing the finish line in 1:50.69. Moving to the 1500m run, redshirt sophomore Kieran Reilly (Dover, Great Britain - Dover Grammar School for Boys) finished 12th, clocking in with a personal-best time of 3:51.95, while fellow redshirt sophomore Mitch Lenneman (River Falls, Wis. – River Falls) turned in a time of 3:54.55

Senior Jeff Elam (Latrobe, Pa. – Grater Latrobe Senior) continued his fantastic trip, taking the silver in the 400m hurdles with a time of 52.26. Also running in the race was sophomore Mark Cooke (Edison, N.J. – John P. Stevens), who finished the race in 54.57.

Freshman Cameron Hart (Columbus, Ohio – Bishop Hartley) represented EMU in both the high jump and the long jump, placing ninth and 14th. The Columbus, Ohio native posted marks of 2.05 meters/ 6 feet 8.75-inches, which was a personal-best, and 7.05 meters/ 23 feet 1.75-inches, respectively. Finally, junior Quinn Levering (Caledonia, Ohio – River Valley) took part in the shot put and the discus. Placing 14th in the shot put, Levering finished with a throw of 16.40 meters/ 53 feet 9.75-inches. In the discus, the junior finished with a mark of 45.19 meters/ 148 feet 3-inches.
