Clocking a time of 11.14 in the 100-meter dash, Walsh following that up with a long jump distance of 11'9¼".

Walsh closed out the first day with his best finish (seventh), as he crossed the finish line of the 400-meter dash in 49.48.

Frawley, in his first national meet, tied for 17th after clearing a height of 16'4¾". That height matched for the third-best total of the day, as just one of the 26 competitors cleared 17 feet.
