The next finisher for the Auggies was Victor Sanchez (Minneapolis, Minn./Southwest HS), who finished 66th overall in a time of 26:14.2.

The next three runners for Augsburg all set personal-best times. Ben Rodriguez (SO, Buffalo, Minn.), finished just behind Sanchez, shattering his previous best by 30 seconds, with a 26:16.3  clocking.
