In the women's 200m, Baylor had a solid showing with four Bears finishing in the top-10 and two Bears earning PB marks. Tiriah Kelley grabbed the event title at 22.84, just 0.11 seconds shy of her program-record time to earn gold. Freshman Royaltee Brown earned a third place showing, breaking her PB with a 23.56 time. Michaela Francois broke her indoor PB in the 200m that she's had since last season with a 23.952 time. Right behind Francois was Summer Sergeant, who finished in ninth place at 23.96.

De'montray Callis concluded the event in 16th at 21.32.
