Andrew Feldpausch led the way with a stellar performance, clocking in at 17:14 for a medal finish, followed closely by Owen Moore, who also medaled at 17:21. The Freshmen had an impressive outing, with Liam DeWitt achieving a personal best of 17:44, improving by 5 seconds. Donnie Richmond finished at 18:13, just shy of his own PR. Rounding out the team were dual-sport athletes Kehyan Page (football) at 19:53 and Tanner McNair (soccer) at 21:27.

The Girls team tackled the hot conditions, finishing 12th out of 20 teams with 140 runners. Avery Wezensky earned a medal with a time of 21:11, while Paige Weber finished just outside the medals at 22:11. The team also saw solid performances from Josephine Polasek at 23:35, Izzy Fedewa at 25:10, Clair Lyon with a season-best of 25:49, and Anna Heath at 25:54.
