This meet featured fellow Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) foes Trinity University and Texas Lutheran University. Additionally, Division II Dallas Baptist University and Angelo State were also present.
This was the first competition for runners participating in the open races since the 2017 season debut for the Crusaders was an all-relays hosted at Texas Lutheran a week ago.
