Manitoba got gold medals from Adam Andres (60-metre hurdles), Graham Hutchison-Campbell (long jump), and Graham Wright (weight throw) on Friday and followed that up with three more first-place finishes on Saturday.

Jordan Soufi took home gold in the 60-metre dash, Daxx Turner won gold in the triple jump, and the 4x200-metre relay team sprinted to a first-place finish as well.

On the men's side, Manitoba collected at least five points in 15 different events, showcasing their depth while overcoming adversity in certain events.

Notably, the team got 20 points in the 60m, 19 points in the long jump, 18 points in the 60m hurdles, 18 points in the triple jump, 17 points in the weight throw, 16 points in the high jump 14 points in the 300m and ten in the 4x200 relay.

"I don't have many words. For things to not go perfect, and to still see the team rally speaks to our depth," added assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Gee-ef Nkwonta.

"I'm proud of everyone that competed this weekend. We've also got the ones back home who work their butts off in training, and keep us honest and disciplined."

Individually, Wright, Soufi and Turner all defended their titles from the prior year.

The fifth-year Wright -- ranked first in the weight throw -- got the party started with the first gold of the meet, and it was on from there. He fouled on his first attempt, but threw above the U SPORTS auto standard on every toss afterwards.

Teammate Joshua Suelzle secured bronze, throwing above the U SPORTS auto standard on three different tosses, while Cole Gagnon also earned a point for Manitoba

Wright's best throw was on his sixth and final toss, a personal best of 19.40 metres.

"My warm up felt good, and then I fouled my first throw. My goal going into the meet was to get a mark on my first throw and go for it after, but the foul kind of threw a curve ball into my plans, so I had to adapt and sort of scale back my second second throw so I would make the top eight and get three extra throws. The second throw I did that, so I felt more relaxed," said Wright.

"The third throw went better, and then I remembered what [coach] Reed [Rimke] said when I walked into the circle for my fourth throw. So I went for it, and after that my confidence just hit a new level and I was so fired up. I don't think I've ever been that vocal in a meet before. It's certainly a great way to head into nationals."

Soufi shattered his own school record in the 60 from last year's championship, running a blistering time of 6.64 seconds in the final. He's the only sprinter in school history to run sub 6.70 seconds in the event, and he holds four of the five fastest times for Manitoba.

Teammate Tyrell Davis, last year's national silver medalist, finished in second in a time of 6.74 seconds, while rookie Denzel Aguinaldo finished seventh to secure two points.

Meanwhile, Turner jumped above the U SPORTS auto standard on three different attempts, with his best being 15.50m on his fifth run. Teammate Adebare Adegbosin earned silver, securing his spot at nationals with a top jump of 14.15 on his second attempt.

Turner's versatility was on full display all weekend. He finished third in the high jump, passing 2.03m on his first attempt, while also earning three points in the long jump. Rookie Matthew Gooden also earned silver in the high jump with a leap of 2.03m.

All three relay teams finished in the top two for the men's team. The feel good story was Manitoba's 4x200 relay gold, which featured a loaded group in Tyler Cox-Yestrau, Jordan Soufi, Jared Hiebert and Adam Andres. Cox-Yestrau and Hiebert have the two fastest 200m times in program history.

The Bisons finished almost a second faster than the rest of the field, with Cox-Yestrau running the anchor. It was an incredible comeback story, as the school record holder in the 200 grinded his way back to the track just a year after tearing his achilles at a meet in the United States.

The 4x400 relay also featured an incredible finish. Cox-Yestrau came from behind to nearly catch Alberta's Tyler Sharpe. It came down to the lean at the end to determine the winning team. Manitoba's 4x800 team also qualified for nationals with their second place finish, in a time of 7:41.85.

On the women's side, the team earned points in eight different events.

Notably, Madisson Lawrence secured 25 points individually, and she was also a part of Manitoba's silver medal-winning 4x400 relay team (also included Adriana Koes, Juliana Crocker and Kendall Marriott) while teammate Lara Denbow secured 14 points.

Lawrence won the high jump and the triple jump, and Denbow -- last year's high jump gold medalist -- finished third in the high jump and second in the triple jump.

Lawrence -- the school record holder in the high jump -- was the only athlete to clear 1.74m in the win, while Denbow, who has the second-best jump in school history (1.78m), went above 1.71m on her third attempt.

Overall, four different Bisons got points in the high jump. Nevaeh Marynowski and Jaylyn Deurbrouck brought home 0.75 points each after eclipsing 1.57m on their first attempt.

Marynowski, the true freshman, had a stellar showing, getting five points as well in the long jump with a season-best distance of 5.71m on attempt three.

In the triple jump, Lawrence earned gold off her second attempt, 11.93m, with Denbow bringing home silver thanks to a top jump of 11.78m on attempt four.

Sophomore Lena Klassen was another standout on the women's side. She ran the anchor leg for the silver medal-winning 4x800 relay team, which also featured Arianna Fulcher, Koes and Angela Kroeker.

The Bisons were within the top four throughout the race, surging into second as the event progressed. The team finished five minutes faster than third place Alberta to earn a spot at nationals.

Klassen also got four points in the 1500m, finishing fifth in 4:44.97
