Caprice Cappucci earned the GNAC Runner of the Year for taking the top spot as well as the GNAC Rookie of the Year for being the top freshman.

On the Men's side, 81 runners began the race with 79 finishing.  Johnson & Wales freshman Greg Redfield took the top spot with a time of 27:14.81.  The win also gave Redfield the GNAC Runner and Rookie of the year awards, just like Capuucci in the race before him.  Johnson & Wales took the top three spots on their way to their second straight GNAC Championship, scoring a total of just 17 points.  Norwich University came in second with 80 points followed by Emerson with 80 points.  Norwich took the tie breaker with their 6th runner finishing just 1 minute ahead of Emerson's 6th runner.
