Junior Dylan Romans was behind them (22:41.0), with senior Franklin Fiola close by (22:55.0). Juniors William Breen (26:34.1) and Nathan Eastman (26:45.5) brough up the rear.

Junior Skye Alker finished in 17th place (22:23.3) in the girls varsity race, with fellow junior Erin Hooley close and earning 28th place (23:38.6). Sophomore Racine Homyak (26:15.3), freshman Alli Guerrette (27:08) and junior Eliana Bartman (35:20) were the last Falcons to finish.
