Steinke picked up a 14th-place finish in the 400 meter hurdles preliminaries on Friday afternoon, crossing the finish line with a time of 52.31, just missing out on the finals heat on Saturday.
On Saturday, redshirt-freshman thrower Christoph Hutschalik competed in the men's hammer throw event, taking 15th-place overall with a toss of 56.07 meters, while sophomore Adam Reed failed to record a clear the bar on three separate tries at 4.91 meters in the men's pole vault event.
