He finished first in this race with a time of 18 minutes, 50.0 seconds, on the 6-kilometer course. A total of 70 runners competed.

The Continentals' winning team score was 35 points. SUNY Cortland was second with 42 and Division II Mansfield University was third with 59. Cortland is tied for 34th in the preseason Division III Top 35 coaches poll.
