Cedrion Cook and Stetson Childress were the next best performers for the Wildcats finishing 53^rd and 68^th. San'Darius Coleman finished 106^th, Ariel Devoto 168^th Braden Wallace 233^rd, and Chandler Roberson 255^th.

The Wildcats finished 10^th out of 48 teams competing in the event.

Coach Brandon Kilburn commented, "Individually, we had some unbelievable performances with Joseph winning by a wide margin. I thought it was his best in a Wildcat uniform. I thought we competed, but we would have liked to have been a little better team wise. We are battling some injuries as is every team in America right now, but we will have an off week before back- to -back race weekends in mid- October. "
