NOTES

The Broncos raced only twice last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Santa Clara's teams competed in the WCC Championships on Feb. 24. Jack Davidson qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships as an individual, becoming the first men's runner in program history to reach the biggest collegiate stage.
Davidson, in his final season with the team, clocked an 8k program record 23:37.7 at WCCs to take eighth place and become the first Bronco men's All-WCC runner since 2009. He placed 65^th at NCAAs with a 10k 31:09.0.
The men's team returns four of its five scorers from the 2020 WCC meet: Zach Litoff, Drew Burns, Ian Twyman and Nicholas Russell. Returners Kyle Johnson and Harvey Chilcott also raced at the conference event. The team has placed fourth at WCCs in each of the last two years.
The women's team welcomes back its top two scorers and four of five scorers overall from the 2020 WCC meet: Kinsey Hall, Hayley Harrison, Irene Nagasaka and Hope Olbricht. Returners Hannah Aguirre, Luciana Lenth, Sasha Codiga and Maiya Fujiwara also raced at conference.
SCU in WCC Preseason Poll: Men 4/9 | Women: 6/10
Last time out the Broncos were at the Roy Griak Invitational.

QUOTABLE
"This competition is a great opportunity for our guys to gain valuable experience and help us prepare as a team for the postseason." Head coach Felipe Montoro

"We're now just a few weeks from our home meet, and so we are starting to think about who's going to be on our conference roster. We raced 10 in Minnesota, but we have some depth, and I want to make sure that going into our home meet everyone has race opportunities, and chances to make their case to be on that conference squad. This meet will serve that purpose." Associate head coach Pete Cushman
