Rose-Hulman finished the meet in 9th place out of 14.

The meet was one of the Midwest's largest college meets with 26 institutions and more than 500 runners competed.  Several nationally ranked teams competed in the college division, including the  Heidelberg University men (No. 28 in Division III) and the Manchester College men (No. 35 in Division III).  The deep and talented field also featured five men's squad that are ranked among the top 10 in their respective NCAA Division III regions.

The university division contained regionally ranked NCAA Division II squads in Bellarmine and Northwest Missouri State.

The meet is a tribute to the Gibson Family, which has helped create the nation's top NCAA cross country course that has hosted the Division I national championships for six consecutive years.  Greg Gibson, a 1982 Rose-Hulman graduate, enjoyed a standout cross country career as a Fightin' Engineer and has been inducted into the college's Athletic Hall of Fame.
