Cashieve Blair captured the lone gold for the weekend in the 500m, cutting more than a second off the team's season-best and nearly a second from his personal best. His time ranks third in program history.
Kennedy Vaughn led the Peacocks in the weight throw, posting a mark of 12.99m to finish 13th overall.
