Detroit claimed four of the top six scoring positions including first place in the 10000m race. Nelkie technically was second timing in at 31:33.34 finishing behind Wright State's Dan Shafer however the Wright State men's team was competing as a non-varsity participant vaulting Nelkie's run into first place and giving the 10 first place points to Detroit.
