The Knights got points Saturday from Olivia Tiburzi third in the high jump, Larkin second in the 800, Kristin Pauley eighth in the pole vault and Alexis Bush seventh in the long jump.

Titus was seventh in the 100, sixth in the 200 and second in the 400, where he ran under 50 seconds for the first time.
