WASHINGTON AT NCAA NATIONALS

UW finished the 2018 season ranked 11th after an appearance at Nationals. In 2017, the squad also qualified for Nationals, the first time the team had done so in back-to-back seasons since 1997-98. The 2017 team ranked 8th in the nation at the end of the season and top-22 across all four events.
