The field raced as a big pack through the first leg, with the front runners being Penn State, Stanford, North Carolina, and Washington. Penn State, Stanford, North Carolina, and Washington broke away during the second leg, with Washington and Stanford being even at the second exchange while Penn State and North Carolina were steps behind. Penn State made their move at 500m into the third leg, surging to the front. At the final exchange, Penn State had a 30m gap over Stanford and North Carolina. Penn State's lead grew to 40m at the bell lap. While Stanford's anchor was able to make up some ground, Penn State was too strong as they won with a time that's the sixth fastest in meet history.
