Natalia Diediker was the only varsity girl to run. She placed 62nd overall.

Tyler Ricken led the freshmen boys with a second-place overall finish. His time was 17:43. Ethan Hampton was fourth with a time of 18:03, Seth Hampton was sixth at 18:08, Chance Jolly was seventh at 18:21 and Austin Hall was 10th with a time of 18:56.
