The men finished in the top half of the field, placing 10th out of 20 teams, and the women came in 13th.
A pair of sophomores paced the men's team, with Marc Sebastian Montalvo and David Seel both placing in the top 50 out of 189 runners. Both ran career-best 8K times, 27:01.8 for Montalvo (pictured above left) and 27:23.0 for Seel.

For the first time in their career, junior Jem Berney (pictured above right) was the top finisher for the women's team, placing 47th out of 180 runners. Berney's time of 25:16.2 surpassed their previous 6K best of 27:00.7 by a wide margin.
