NMMI was 22nd out of the 39 teams participating in the National Championships. The Broncos finished with a team time of 1:50:58.1, which is an average of 22:11.7 per athlete.

In the individual race the winner was Everlyn Kemboi from El Paso CC with a time of 18:17.1 out of 294 runners who competed in the NJCAA D1 National Championships.

Head Bronco Cross Country Coach Jan Olesinski expressed his thoughts on the National Championships.

Olesinski said, "They improved from last year. We were 24th as a team last year and this year we finished 22nd. I was hoping we could get top 20 as a team before the meet started, but we feel short of that goal.

Olesinski said the season as a whole was a successful one.

Olesinski said," I am proud of the girls for a great season they had. They worked hard throughout the year to get better and they did."
