The women ran first, the top finisher for the Reiver’s was Kaylee Fly finishing 47th overall; the team placed 19th with 478 points.
The men's team finished as the 7th best team in the country. Leading the way as usual was Isaiah Samoei who received the Bronze Medal and All American Honors for his 3rd place overall finish! Isaiah earned the accolades by running a time of 24:49. This stellar performance capped off a remarkable freshman season where Samoei set numerous course records and never finished lower than 4th in any race. Congrats to Isaiah and the rest of the Reiver Runners!!
