He spent the majority of the race in a close battle with Henry Rop and Kalphys Kemboi of Southeastern Louisiana. The two Lions grabbed first and second respectively in times of 31:26.23 and 31:26.26.

Frank Bwambale and Randy Becker also finished in the top eight, scoring points for the LU men in the only running event of day one. Bwambale crossed the finish line in sixth place in a time of 33:00.48 while Becker took eighth place in a time of 33:29.11.

In the women's 10,000 Stacey Monteau ran to a ninth place finish in a time of 41:25.08
