Harrison Vanderlinden followed close behind placing 14th with a time of 26:19.2. This was a personal best for Vanderlinden. Rounding out the top five were Brandon Conrad (27.18.5, 35th), Kolby Winter (27:19.2, 36th), and Dodson Melchiori (28:22.3, 45th). Conrad, Winter, and Melchiori all set a season best times or personal best times for 8K. Tyler Colvin competed in his first 8K finishing with a time of 29:10.9.
"Sam is really leaving his mark as a RedTail cross country season as he's either won or set a PR all season long, very excited for all of his hard work and determination to show off," said head coach Tyler Mulder. "Over the next few weeks, we'll turn our focus on getting some pack running in and hit the training pretty hard to prepare and set them up well for regional and national championship season. "
The RedTails will be competing next in the Mustang Jamboree on Saturday, October 24.
