The Saint Mary's Invitational marked the first home meet for the Gaels since the 2021 West Coast Conference Championships. O'Connell became the first men's cross country runner of the season to receive the weekly honor after placing second overall in a field of 140 runners. The transfer redshirt senior completed the 7.853K race in 23:05.6 to help the Gaels to a second place finish out of 13 competing teams. The result was the best team finish since Saint Mary's placed first in a field of seven teams at the 2024 Pacific Invitational.
