The women's side saw Hayley Thomas cross the finish line in a time of 23:19.95, good enough for 16^th place.  Allison Fick (22^nd) and Lindsey Wilkins (36^th) rounded out the top three for UNI with respective times of 23:33.41 and 24:18.29. Fick finished 32^nd in the 2011 Oz Memorial and cut over a minute off of her time while Wilkins improved her time by 16 seconds from last season.
