Making her 2025 debut after redshirting during the indoor season, De Coninck won the women's high jump by clearing the bar at 5'-8".
Ayden Bath opened the outdoor campaign with a mark of 22'-10.5" to place third in the men's long jump.
Jaheim Jones advanced to the finals in the men's 100-meter dash with a time of 10.47 seconds.
Amryne Chilton ran a personal-best time of 12.06 seconds in the women's 100-meter dash. Later in the evening about 30 miles away at the Bobcat Invitational in San Marcos, Chilton placed fourth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.73 seconds that is just .02 off her PR.
Kent State had two additional runners record fourth-place finishes during the opening day of competition on Thursday. Dylan McBride ran a time of 1:51.34 in the men's 800-meter run and Karsyn Spears clocked in at 2:11.82 in the women's 800-meter run.
