That team, which ran a time of 46.92, also consisted of Kya Bryant, Carsen Cebra and Grady Ostrander.

Bryant was a triple winner as he also was a member of the 400, 800 and 1,600-meter relay teams. The 800-meter team also consisted of Dylan Leep, Ostrander and Shepard. It ran a time of 1:40.87. The 1,600-meter team posted a time of 3:57.81. Bryant was joined on the squad by Chase Karkiewicz, Jack Bell and Leep.
