On the second day of events, Ingram competed in his signature event, the weight throw. The McKendree University transfer tied for 15th, which earned Second Team All-American honors.

With the conclusion of the indoor season, the track and field will begin the outdoor season with the SIU-hosted Bill Cornell Spring Classic. The events will take place on March 23-24.
