Senior Evan Alander set a course record with a 17:52 and was closely followed by senior Peter Barto (17:53). Juniors Dillan O’Shell (18:09) and Adam Neilson (18:10) both crossed the line before LD’s first runner. Ultimately, the boys team would put nine runners across the line before LD’s second competitor with junior Nathan Nielson (18:17), senior Evan Smith (18:19) and sophomore Nick Kelly (18:19) rounding out the scoring.
