The MIAA was stocked full of top-end talent in 2014, and Archbishop Spalding's Ronan O'Shea was the only top-ten finisher from the meet to compete at the MD/DC Private School state meet. Both Wegner and Singer likely would have given Jack Wavering (15:42 season best 5K at the Paul Short Invitational) even more of a challenge than he got from Georgetown Day's Aidan Pillard. Both Loyola and McDonogh, who averaged 16:15 and 16:23, respectively, on the three-mile course at the conference championships, would have been right in the thick of the team race with Good Counsel and Georgetown in what could have been one of the best four-team battles in meet history.
The McDonogh girls put four runners in the top ten at the IAAM Championships (scoring just 34 points) and would have likely won the large school girls team title. The 2014 girls race, however, was one of the most well-attended meets by the area's top female runners throughout the decade.
