Junior Byron Gartrell led the Eagles with a fifth-place finish and a time of 24:31. Classmate Drew Bouchard finished tenth with a time of 24:43. Trevor Rozier-Byrd finished 32nd overall, posting a time of 25:27. A pair of freshmen rounded out the scorers for the Eagles: Stephen Walsh finished 38th with a time of 25:31 and classmate Mark Alizzi was close behind, placing 42nd with a time of 25:36.
The Eagles will return to action next Saturday when they travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa for the NCAA Pre-National Meet.
