Penn State was the leader coming into the first exchange, running a 4:14 split with a 5 meter lead over Washington and Providence. After the baton exchange, Providence rushed to the lead and built a 20 meter lead by the end of the first lap. Providence never looked back for the rest of the race, as the Friar athletes ran splits of 4:13, 4:12, and 4:14 to widen their lead to over 100 meters by the time Kimberley May broke the finishing line tape in 16:59. The battle for second place was between Georgetown, Washington, and Penn State. Going into the final leg, it looked like Washington was dropped as Georgetown and Penn State surged ahead. Washington regained ground though, catching and passing Georgetown and Penn State with 2 laps to go. By the bell lap, Washington had built a 20 meter cushion ahead of Georgetown and Penn State to secure second place (Providence was already 100 meters ahead of the rest of the field by the bell). Georgetown held off Penn State in the final stretch to finish third.
