In Division II, one point separated Bowling Green (181) from second-place Lexington (182). Paced by Lloyd Waldron (15:58.0), Rece Simon (15:59.7), and Sam Wiles (16:00.02), the Bobcats’ top three finished 25th, 26th, and 27th. “We knew we were going to be ranked first, and that we had a very good chance, since we got second last year,” Waldron said. “Knowing we looked at the coaches' poll every week, the rankings every week, we’ve known that we’re going to be a contender, but it always came down to today and this time.

Each earned first-team selections in the Northern Lakes League Cardinal Division and played a part in delivering a fourth straight league title, along with the state championship.
