NOTABLES
- The men got the day started in the 8K event and were led by Kyle Mastin who claimed 12th overall with a time of 24:32.9. The mark just missed out on a new personal best for the senior standout at the distance and was the best finish by a Horizon League student-athlete in the race.

- The NKU women followed things up with a 5K race of their own as the Norse were paced by Megan Cole who took 24th overall with a mark of 18:21.0. The time too just missed out on a personal record by 10 seconds as Cole also crossed the line as the top Horizon student-athlete.
- Sophia DeLisio was right behind her in 60th with a time of 18:49.5. The mark just missed on a new PR by eight seconds.
- Jacquelyn Witt (107th – 19:15.3), Chloe Boa (187th – 19:52.6) and Nelle Yankovich (193rd – 19:54.1) rounded out the scoring student-athletes for NKU.
