Johnson "Tell Me Something Good" Indoor Track and Field Open by clearing 4.10 meters (13 feet, 5.25 inches), also tying for the second-best mark by a North Coast Athletic Conference student-athlete this season. Suiter also ran on the Little Giants' second-place 4x400-meter relay team that finished in 3:29.81 and placed sixth in the finals of the 60-meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 9.81.
