NOTES

• Santa Clara sends multiple runners to the postseason for the fourth time in program history. Last season Zach Litoff ran the 3,000m steeplechase and became the first Bronco to qualify for the NCAA Championships. He finished 12th in his heat and 20th overall. Alex Scales ran the 800m, Jack Davidson ran the 5,000m, and Christian Raslowsky and Harvey Chilcott ran the 3,000m steeplechase. Davidson ran at 1,500m and 5,000m while Litoff ran in the steeple in the NCAA preliminary meet in 2019; the 2020 event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Joey Berriatua competed in the steeple at the 2018 regional meet. Mary Kriege (5,000m, 10,000m) and Grayson Murphy (3,000m steeple, 5,000m) each qualified for a pair of events in 2016.
