Senior Mark Sherer (Valparaiso, IN/Valparaiso) and junior Dan Ruge (Chesterton, IN/Chesterton) combined in the relay-style race to take fourth place with a time of 29:49. Runners work together in pairs, with the first runner racing for a mile, then handing a baton to his teammate. The second runner runs another mile, then hands the baton back to the first runner. This exchange continues until both runners have run three miles. The women run two one-mile loops in the same fashion.
Junior Dan Sweet (West Bloomfield, MI/Culver Military Academy) and freshman Ethan Paul (Evansville, IN/Evansville Memorial) finished 16th (32:02), and freshmen Joe Moore (Beech Grove, IN/Beech Grove) and Peter Fenimore (Bexley, OH/Bexley) took 21st place (33:22).
