"We had a few season personal records," head coach Elliott Blount said. "However, we lacked the competitiveness in the heart of the race, which costed us one or two places in the overall finish."
In the men's 8k, the Trojans were led by Dylan Ogburn at 27:09.1, in 45th place. Sean Kent took second on the team at 27:23.4. Timothy Bulger came in third for Troy at 27:53.0. Joe Giese, Eric Schueller and Cameron McCutheon all finished in a row at 29:03.7, 29:06.6 and 30:04.6, respectively.
"We failed to play to our strengths and with such a small margin of error it showed," Blount said. "We got separated early and we're unable and to recover."
