Prokop followed close behind finishing tenth in 21:07 and was the fifth TCCC runner across the line. The one-two punch of Conn and Prokop was able to split up the top three finishers from overall winner Roger Williams and despite the loss Endicott will be in the hunt against the Hawks come conference championship time.
