The men's team placed seventh out of 24 and the women's side finished 12 of 24 overall.

COACH FRANCE'S COMMENTS
"Today served as an important early-season test for our younger student-athletes as they adapted to a new race distance, while also providing an opportunity for those returning to competition to challenge themselves and shake off some rust. We are encouraged by the effort and progress demonstrated across the team at this stage of the season."
