Hayes became the first Kingsmen in program history to throw the discus over 50 meters during his win at the SCIAC Quad No. 2 meet. He outclassed a field with his effort of 52.16 meters, improving on his personal best by nearly 2.5 meters.

Hayes also finished third in the hammer and fourth in the shot put as Cal Lutheran earned a dual win over Pomona-Pitzer and nearly knocked off Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.
