He was followed by Luke Estes, whose 32:56.0 netted him 104^th. The rest of the Tech finishers were all bunched together, as Stephen Alvarez, Shea Whatley and Connor Hughes finished 107^th, 108^th and 109^th, respectively.

On the women's side, Seselia Dala missed a PR by just 12 seconds with a 21:43.0 en route to a 78^th-place finish. Lauren Offerman crossed next for Tech with her 111^th-place time of 22:27.9 and was closely followed Bret Leigh Nance, who took 113^th with a 22:30.1.
