The Mules placed first through third in the college scores, with Tredway (20:27.92) closely followed by freshman Ian Frazier (20:30.83) and junior Michael Gawlick (20:40.55) in the four mile race. Spencer Hudson (21:04.58) and Austin Gott (21:13.86) rounded out the scoring for the Mules. All five Mule scorers finished in the top-10. Hudson captured sixth place while Gott placed eighth.
