She led the way finishing the hilly 6 kilometer course with a time of 26:24 (167 out of 268). Close behind was sophomore Katie Fitch who also broke 27 minutes crossing the line with a time of 26:53 (185th).

Junior Jen Abramovitz finished with a time of 27:35, followed by sophomore Kathleen Lascelles just 10 seconds later. Junior captain Andrea Mokray was the next Gull finisher posting a time of 28:01. Two seconds behind Andrea was Julianna Osburn who ran a gutsy race with an injured knee.
