The weather conditions were favorable as 11 women from 4 different colleges and 15 men from 4 different institutions toed the starting line on a course that was fairly level throughout.

On the day, the Lady Eagles had one runner tackle the 5K trail, and she came ready to run. Kaitlynn Ratliff crossed the finish line in a time of 22:07. This earned her a 5th place finish and also set a new PR for her as well.

On the men's side of the equation, the Eagles would also send one runner to the starting gate. Noah Harris would complete the 8K race in a time of 31:32. This earned him a 9th place finish and also set a new PR for him as well.
