Individually, Dylan McCarthy mimicked his team's finish with a runner-up showing as well. The junior clocked a 19:39, six-seconds behind medalist David Akerley of the Red Dragons. Colin Greenseich was close on his teammate's heels, coming in with a third place finish just two seconds later. Rounding out the Lakers with top 10 finishes was Nicholas LeClair, crossing the line in 19:53 to claim 10th place.
