Junior Lauren Williams was the Golden Gophers' top finisher for the fourth time this season.

Her time was a personal best by nearly 31 seconds.
Zoe Nagell was the second Minnesota finisher, placing 71st in a clocking of 21:56.2. Also scoring for the Gophers were Ladia Albertson-Junkans in 96th place with a time of 22:09.8, Jen Hess in 120th with a time of 22:21.0 and Harper McConnell in 121st in 22:21.7.
