6th ranked Cal Bap won the WWPA Conference in water polo and is going to the NCAA tournament.

Cal Bap water polo is playing UCLA in the first round on March. The winner takes on Stanford in a semi final. Only 6 teams make it to the NCAA national championship.

UVU wrestling has 2 highly ranked wrestlers among the 4 they qualified for natioanls in St Louis this week. Demetrius Romero has moved up to number 2 in the nation at 174 and is still undefeated on the season. Taylor Lamont is ranked 7th at 125.

For reference, the top 8 placers per weight class earn all a American status.

UVU will finish as a top 25 team in the NCAA wrestling championship with 2 All Americans. Neither quite matched their rankings coming into the tourney, and one could not wrestle his final match die to injury but had advanced far enough to be AA.
