- "I feel I ran the race very well today. I was able to really dictate what I wanted to happen with the top group of runners. It came down to the Villanova guy and me, and he just had a little more in the tank left down the stretch. From a team perspective, I want to shout out Liem and Brayden, two freshmen who really ran well today. I think our team is in a good spot heading into the AAC Championships," said Arthur.
- Arthur led the Owls with a second-place finish.
- Temple saw four runners finish within the top-50 in Arthur, Josh Christianson, Liem Chot, and Brayden Harris.
