Santa Clara took the Invitational title by breaking even. They were followed by Seattle (+11), Pacific (+19), and Boise State (+30) taking 2nd-4th respectively. There was a three way tie for 5th with the teams earning a score of 31 over par. The 5th place finishers include UT Arlington, Arkansas-Little Rock, and Utah. The Wolverine’s in state rivals, Utah State (+34) and Southern Utah (+38), were the two other teams to finish ahead of UVU and there final score of 45 over par.

Out of the six athletes that UVU brought to the Invitational none made the top 20. Mike Dart came the closest to making the list as he tied for 31st with a score of 220. Ariel Elftman-Hanson came up next for the Wolverines as he tied for 33st with a score of 221. He was followed closely by J.T. Timmons and Perry Wright as they tied for 41st and trailed behind Elftman-Hanson by one point.
