MacEwan University won the team title, its fifth straight ACAC race win this season. Lethbridge College finished second, a scant 3 points better than the Wolves.

In the mens 8 km race, the Wolves had a tough day.  With three of its top runners left at home due to illness and injury, an under-manned group consistenting Hayden Hollowell (14th), Joren Manz (18th), Cody Krantz (42nd), and Ryan Peters-Friesen (45th) placed 8th in a field of 9 complete teams.

Due to some finish line confusion, meet officials have yet to publish official results pending further investigation.   Full official results, when available, will be posted at http://www.acac.ab.ca/pages/cross-country-running.php
