Ronan Reaction
"Much like the guys I thought the girls handled the drama of the weather and course change well. After a solid start to the race, I thought we ran well in the middle 2,000 meters of the race to position ourselves for a good team finish but we didn't close it out the way I felt we were capable off. This group worked hard this cross country season and made good progress so I feel we can be optimistic about the up coming seasons."

- O'Reilly completed the six-kilometer course in 21 minutes, 4.6 seconds.
- Holly Manning (Napier, New Zealand) was the second Seawolf to cross the line, taking 110th in 21:31.7.
