* Matches Personal Best (WIND AIDED)
Miller matched the best outdoor leap of his career with a 15.25m mark on his fourth attempt, with a wind calculation of +3 that certifies the performance for NCAA Regional Qualification but not UNM all-time records.
Women’s High Jump

* T-No. 3 UNM Outdoor List
In her first high jump competition of the outdoor season, Hughes moved up to No. 3 on the UNM outdoor list with a 1.78m clearance that netted her third overall.
