- "The women have been training really well together over the past few weeks and we've got nearly our full team back together and 100% healthy. Since mid-September, it's been our goal to just get better both individually and as a team every week. That progress has been evident in training, and I'll be excited to see it translate into racing this weekend."
- As a team, the Owls finished in 23rd place out of the 37 teams that competed at the Paul Short Invitational.
- Temple saw two runners finish in the top-100 with Michelle Joyce finishing in 32nd and Helene Gottlieb finishing 83rd.
- Freshman runner Lea Keribirou remained out due to injury.
