Emily Grove pulled off a major upset in the women’s pole vault, defeating world and Olympic champion Katie Moon. Grove cleared 4.63m on her final attempt, while Moon chose to skip that height. Both athletes failed to clear 4.73m in three attempts.

Leyanis Perez Hernandez won the triple jump, despite having to stop her final attempt due to a mistake in her run-up. Her first-round jump of 14.73m was enough to secure victory over Thea Lafond and Shanieka Ricketts.
