Koslowski, who starred in cross country and track and field at Lake City, made his college racing debut and placed ninth in 16:57. McGivern took 12th in 17:03.
UST had five others place in the top 35 out of 91 total finishers. Sophomores Scott Helstad (17th, 17:14) and Spencer Urick (19th, 17:19) and juniors Seth Glidewell (26th, 17:32) and Bailey LaChance (32nd, 17:40) and freshman Erik Sworski (34th, 17:41).
