Eric Huang, a 7th grader, was the top Hornet, finishing 5th in a time of 13:37. The Hornets also scored big with top ten finishes by 4th grader, Landon Kaliszewski, in 7th, and 8th grader Vedant Aryan in 8th. Other top point earners were fellow 8th graders Boyuan Su at 14th, Alec Dendas at 15th, and Leo Ehrenfels at 18th, while 6th grader Cole Christman took 23rd.
 
In the girls race, the Hornets finished with 72 points to finish third. However, the top Hornet finisher of the day was 8th grader Ila Sundstrom, who took home the silver medal with a time of 14:52. Other runners who scored included Margaret Gustafson at 13th, Joy Zhou at 16th, Monica Ehrenfels at 20th, Teagan Bird at 21st, Kiran Menon 22nd, and Nana Winston-Ashie at 23rd.
 
After the race, coach Brian Christman said, “It was like running a marathon to put this together, but I was so pleased with how the entire event turned out. With perfect running weather, the Beckerman complex was at its resplendent best. Plus it was great to have a professional timing system in place. I want to thank all the parents who came out to attend and who provided delicious refreshments to all the runners after the race. Thanks as well to the athletic department and everyone who made this possible. I am already excited for next year!”
