Kody Johnson finished in a time of 19:24. Tyler Young (19:32), David Householder (19:46), Brandon Kirby (20:46) and Ryan Clary (21:51) also ran well for the Raiders.

River Valley’s Yoot Anukoolkarn (22:34), Jon Porter (23:49) and James Porter (24:46) ran in the open race.

South Gallia’s Steven Call (18:30) and Jacob Watson (21:40) also ran in the open race.
