In the men's race, Crist finished the 8k in 26:06.71. He led the 15-point sweep for the Hoosiers as they took the first six spots and eight of the top 10 positions. Bryce Millar crossed second, Mark Chandler was third, Jeremy Coughler finished fourth and Matt Schwartzer came in fifth.

The other top 10 finishers were Kyle Burks (sixth), Jackson Bertoli (eighth) and Joe Murphy (10^th). The top unattached finishers were Teddy Browning, Cooper Williams and Cameron Clements.
