Julian Vargas ran his third top ten performance of the season and placed seventh with a time of 25:12.5. Trevor Lam, who was 73rd after the first 2000m, made up lots of ground to finish 36th with a time of 26:26.7. Dominic Clima, Caleb Bouwens and Elijah Eisenbach all placed in the top 50 to round out the Gators point scorers.
