At this year’s Wisconsin Invitational, Iowa State finished third. The team finished fifth at the 2013 event.
For the second consecutive season, Iowa State claimed the Big 12 and Midwest Regional titles. This year the team placed four runners inside the top-10 at the Big 12 meet and four inside the top-10 at the Regional.
