Turner threw a career-best 132-8 in the discus to place second in the event and earn 674 points. Orona threw the discus 130-8 to earn 661 points, which allowed him to finish fifth. Gregory's 121-0 gave him 602 points and placed him ninth.
In the pole vault, Turner and Gregory both cleared 14-11 to score 775 points. Gregory was credited with fifth place. Turner was given third as it took fewer attempts to make 14-11. Orona went 13-3 1/2 (601) to finish 15th.
