(Sterling, Ill./Sterling) continued his rise after running his first race two weeks ago.听 The junior crossed 123rd with a time of 26:56.24, an improvement of more than a minute from his previous race.听 Freshmen (Staunton, Va./Fort Defiance) and (Lancaster, Pa./Lancaster Mennonite) weren’t that far apart from each other, with Thibodeaux timing at 27:30.24 in 154th and Nisly charting at 27:43.64 in 163rd, both slicing time off their PRs as well.

黑料正能量’s final three runners held together in a pack, finishing with three seconds of each other.听 (Wichita, Kan./Wichita East) led the trio in 28:48.21, followed by (Lexington, Va./Parry McCluer) at 28:49.53 and (Harrisonburg, Va./Harrisonburg) at 28:51.54.
