Kara Tichbourne (Meaford, Ont.) finished close behind in 2:54.94, and Mary Tennant (London, Ont.) crossed the line in 3:01.59. Kaylee White (Bright's Grove, Ont.) ran the mile race in a time of 4:55.52 and clocked a 1500m time of 4:36.69. The final event the Marauders ran was the 3000m which had Kaitlyn Treleaven (Hamilton, Ont.) finish in 9:40.33, as the top Marauder finisher. Ana Morariu (Kincardine, Ont.) and Victoria Lamb (London, Ont.) also ran in the same heat as Treleaven and finished close together with a time of 9:45.33 and 9:46.20 respectively.
