Congrats to all of our Mountain South athletes that competed in the 2024 Mountain South WSO Championships! This year we had our first event on 10/19 in Tempe, AZ, and our final event on 10/26-27 in Albuquerque, NM with the results of both meets combined as our overall Mountain South Championship!
A huge thanks to the meet directors for hosting these events, and for all the volunteers that helped make these happen!
