Coming into the race, US #7 Ella Donaghu wanted to go after the course record. She was clearly on a mission, going out hard from the gun. She came through the two mile mark in 11:02 and hardly slowed down as she flew to the finish in a new Oregon State Meet course record 17:26. Now the question will be how long she can stay on top of the course all-time list? She was followed across the line by a trio of freshmen with Ember Stratton finishing 2nd in 17:42, just shy of the old course record. Stratton led the US #4 Sunset squad to a 45 point championship and four athletes in the Top-10.

It was a tight battle for the fastest overall time of the day. Five athletes finished within six seconds of each other between the different divisions. It would come down to the final race of the day, and a pretty sweet neon race kit worn by Ahmed Muhumed, which almost assuredly gave him the edge. He would win the 6A state title, dropping 15:38 and the fastest time of the day by one second.
