The Bulldogs toed the line with a total of 250 girls, finishing 8th of 10 teams in the Cougar division.

She was followed by teammates Clara Deeren in 39th place in 22:20, Megan Lennemann in 53rd place in a personal record time of 23:35, Charly Smith in 72nd place in a personal record time of 26:42, and Tempyst Aikens in 78th place in 29:57.
