Montford Middle School cross-country runner Caitlin Wilkey was first in the women's standings. An eighth grader, Wilkey placed fifth overall in 22:01. Ten-year-old Layla Thompson was the second female finisher, coming in 14th overall in 24:20. Jane Jhanji took the third woman's spot, 21st overall in 26:46.
