Colorado Stateâ€^TMs Josh Glaab crossed the finish line nine seconds later, followed closely by CU-Colorado Springsâ€^TM Moses Tum, a three-event All-American in track this past year.

Taking sixth was the Mountain Lionsâ€^TM Aaron Rubalcaba-Lopez, who finished in 22:21.

Colorado State won the meet by virtue of its depth. The Rams took second, fourth, seventh, eighth and ninth.

Other runners competing for the Mountain Lions were Gabe Small (35th/24:13), Jason Braun (37th/24:20), Dan Pinter (43rd/24:33), Kyle Reno (45th/24:36), John Tucker (50th/24:59), Matt Chavez (52nd/25:14) and Kyle Cloppas (54th/25:20).
