In men′s action, Josh Gunnett and Josh Falk finished one and two for the Golden Tornadoes. Gunnett crossed the line in third place while Falk came in close behind in fifth position.

Geneva′s women were again led by the tandem of Rebecca VanRegenmorter and Nicole Okerlund. VanRegenmorter broke the 20 minute barrier for the second time this season with an impressive 19:19 finish. Okerlund narrowly missed coming in less than 20 minutes at 20:11. VanRegenmorter finished in fifth place while Okerlund also broke the top ten in 9th position.
