Individually in the running events, Haywood Stowe broke the tape in the 100-meter dash in 11.26 seconds.
Two relays also stood above the rest of the field as the sprint medley started the night with a gold in 1:38.78. Members of the winning quartet included Austin Wilkins, Ben Wymer, Stowe and Bennett Schutte. Near the end of the night, it was B.
