Clara Lundquist had her best race of her season, medaling and finishing in 8th with a time of 13:57.

Taking advantage of this flat fast course, Wyatt Dillworth (13:00) was determined right from the starting line placing 17th. Calvin Renfroe (13:49) did his best to keep working his way through the large group of runners finishing in 35th. Next was 7th grader Daniel Beutler (57) 14:25.
