Following a dispute surrounding the course distance at the Airport Haunted Harvest Invitational, the organizers have taken measures to address the issue. After a remeasurement, it was determined that the course falls short of the initially claimed 5K distance and will now be officially recognized as a 3-mile.

Falyn Doss was the Airport Invitational Runner-up, finishing in second place overall (19:11.6), and Kayla Christesen in the 13th spot (21:23.4^) both earned medals among the top 25. Savanna Rupnow finished in 54th (25:41.7^), Julia Welch 59th (26:08.6^), and Macy Bauman 68th (30:16.6) out of 74 runners. In the JV/Open race, Coach Roupe received a medal for placing first in the Women’s Coach category (22:30.7).
