Leading the way for the men was sophomore Yonas Tesfai, who finished the 6K course in a time of 16:59, placing sixth overall. Anthony Coleman placed 30th with a time of 17:37 with teammate Drevan Anderson-Kaapafinishing close behind with a time of 18:46 to place 37th.

"On the men's side we had some really stand out performances from Yonas and Anthony," Magness said. "Anthony really took his performance to another level. For the women, Kathryn did a great job of competing with some very good women. She really set herself up for trying to break into that quality group of women."
