    Boyer, who was a state champion during his time in a Pony uniform, helped the Tartans finish in second place at the University Athletic Association Championship at the University of Chicago. He had a season-best performance in the long jump by finishing third at a distance of 6.69 meters. Boyer also had a 2014 high in the 110 hurdles, finishing sixth in 16.14 seconds.
