Results
Huskies\' 4x4 earns best NCAA finish since 1976. March 11, 2006 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Washington\'s 4x400-meter relay broke a school record and earned a stunning third-place finish Saturday at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., bringing the team\'s two-day All-American total to a UW-record nine, and carrying Washington to its best NCAA Championships team finish since 2001. The UW men\'s nine All-America honors shattered the team\'s single-meet record of seven set three times previously, most recently in 1998. Furthermore, the 10 All-America honors earned by both Husky squads at the two-day meet tied a UW record set just last year; prior to 2005, no Husky team had ever earned more than nine All-America honors at a single meet. The third-place relay finish, combined with the distance medley relay\'s fifth-place effort Friday, helped the UW men finish in a tie for 19th overall with 10 points. The finish was the UW\'s highest at the NCAA Indoor meet since 2001, and marked the fifth time in the last seven years that the UW men have placed among the top-25. Host Arkansas scored 53 points to win the NCAA indoor men\'s crown for the 19th time in 23 years, edging LSU\'s 45 points, while Texas scored 51 to win easily over second-place Stanford (36). Washington\'s women did not score. FULL RESULTS
