Although all participating schools competed in the same race, the results were separated between Division I schools and Division II and III schools.

The Mule women tied for seventh among nine lower-division schools, but more importantly, every one of their runners improved her time from the Lehigh Valley Championships, run on the same course three weeks ago. The greatest improvement was shown by junior Christy Grandjean, who knocked 2:01 off her previous time.

Senior Jenna Belisonzi also cut into her time, lowering it by 1:40. She finished eighth, beating out 75 Division I runners.

The men competed without their top runner but still managed to come in 10th out of 12 Division II and III squads. For the first time in his career, sophomore Stephen Rothwell (incorrectly identified as senior Christopher Martin in the official results) was the first Muhlenberg runner across the finish line, placing 36th overall, ahead of 47 Division I athletes. Martin ran a good race as well and placed 46th. (updated Sept. 27)
