There were 126 runners in the race.

The first Forester males to cross the finish line of the 8-kilometer course were junior Evan Piermont (East Hampton, N.Y./East Hampton) and sophomore Kelsey Small (Wallingford, Conn./Notre Dame) in 63rd and 64th places, both with a time of 30:17. Sophomore Peter Sullivan (Lockport, Ill./Lockport) was next on the team in 79th with a time of 31:32.
