AUSTIN, Texas – Wildcat men finish 16^th with 95 total points, just 11 points out of tenth-place. Arizona earned All-America honors on all five relays, a feat that has not been done since 2013. The Cats did not improve their placement but did score 50% more points than last year.

Head Coach Augie Busch notes, "Our men had a great meet and I could not be more proud of them.  It is somewhat bittersweet to score 50% more points than last year and not improve our overall team standing, but sometimes that is how this meet goes.  We scored 5 out of 5 relays for the first time in six years which is a focal point of the team first culture being built.  The needle is moving fast with both of our men's and women's teams, and I could not be more excited."
