The ladies team finished 10th with a score of 251 and the men took eighth with a score of 213. Individually, Carlos Villarreal and Addi Zerrenner finished in the top 15.

Carlos (Villarreal) did well, finishing 15th, running by far his best race. After that everyone ran well. Seamus White ran a good race.
