The team went up against tough competition in their divisions, which had 18 teams in the boys division with 124 runners. The boys team finished in seventh place with the top Trojans runner, senior Bryce Odegard (16 minutes, 13.6 seconds) finishing in third place in the three-mile race.

Odegard lost to Osvaldo Cervantes (15:38.6) of Nogales, who finished in first place and Alec Nguyen (16:05.7) of Rosemead finishing in second.
