Anna Grimes crossed the finish line in 88th with a time of 21:02.19 and Jami Kloenne rounded out the Murray State contingent at 21:56.83 to finish 124th.
"I am really pleased with how everyone competed today," head coach Jenny Severns said. "We improved on our finish from last year with a lot of new faces. Anne Jablinksi and Abby Oliver worked really well together."
