Wesley Haggstrom was the top performer for the boys team, recording a sixth-place finish in 16 minutes, 13.16 seconds. Connor Haldeman was 15th in 16:41.43, freshman Gunnar Douglass was 43rd, Wyatt Stephens was 56th and Owen Newsome was 71st in a field of 179 runners. Scoring is based on the finishes of the top five runners for each team.
Lulu Serang led the charge for the girls team, finishing in 14th place in 19 minutes, 21.65 seconds. Abby Reutinger was 22nd, Tenley Douglass was 28th, Sophie Cowart was 32nd and Lillian Douglass was 43rd to round out the scoring runners for the Titans.
