The RedHawk team was edged out for the MAC Championship runner-up, 63-62 by Ball State while Toledo defended their title by scoring 51 points.

Andrea Kremer (Indianapolis, IN/Bishop Chatard) earned first-team all-MAC with a fourth-place finish in a time of 17:37.70. With the junior's most recent finish, Kremer has earned all-MAC accolades for cross country all three years at Miami.

Pryor was the 10th MAC runner to cross the finish line while Studer placed 11th. Pryor's time 18:08.50 and Studer's time of 18:10.90 were both personal records, which put them on the all-MAC second-team.
