Kigen Chemadi won the individual race over his teammate, All-American Jacob Choge, in a winning time of 19:46. In total, the Blue Raiders scored all five runners in the top 14 positions in the race. 

Behind the Blue Raiders, Ole Miss claimed second with a leading performance from Brandon Harvey, who finished sixth overall. Trevor Gilley and Ben Savino finished behind him in seventh and eighth, respectively.
