Kipligat posted 132nd as she clocked with the time of 23:24.0 for the second six kilometer race this season. Gray finished with his best placement in his career at the Regionals at 101st with the time of 34:06.0.

The Governors finished their season as they competed in the NCAA South Regionals in back to back years.
