Five Virginia runners placed fourth through eighth respectively and had a total of six runners named to the All-Conference team.

On the women's side, Jermyn led the Blue Devils to their second consecutive ACC championship. Duke posted a score of 20 points in the race. The Blue Devils placed six runners in the top ten and were led by 2005 ACC Individual Champion Shannon Rowbury, who covered the 6K course in 19:03.2. Duke placed seven runners on the All-Conference team. This award is the second such honor for Jermyn, who led the Blue Devils to their first ACC championship in school history a year ago.
