Iowa State rounds out the top five with 278 points.

The CU women were third at pre-nationals behind Washington and BYU. Sage Hurta led the team with a third-place individual finish and Tabor Scholl placed 10th. Annie Hill was third for Colorado, finishing 31st, while Rachel McArthur was 38th. Karina Mann rounded out the scoring for the Buffaloes by placing 49th.
