Senior John Quigley, CU's top finisher in each of its previous three competitions, wasn't far behind in 70th place with a time of 25:23.1.
Freshman Ryan Montera continued the strong start to his career with a 93rd-place showing (25:44.0), edging out teammate Jack Larsen (94th, 25:45.5) by one-half a second.
