The women's team finished in sixth place, while the men ended the day in seventh. 

Individually for the women Annika Carlson and Tasha Kotz were neck and neck the entire way finishing right besides each other at the end. Carlson in 22nd and Kotz in 23rd. The duo finished two seconds apart.

Carlson's time of 23:14 was a new PR beating her previous time by a little over nine seconds. She remains fifth all-time in school history in the 6k.

As for the men, the top finisher was Zach Leith who placed 44th and was the only Panther to finish in the top-50.
