Texas took first behind 83 points, while Tennessee finished second with 78 points. Alabama's 35 points came in third, as Oklahoma finished fourth with 34 points.
Head Coach Glenn Putyrae Said
"I am super proud of how the team raced today – we had some great results in a lot of the events. What really stood out was how well the SEC put on this conference championship; it was first class. This was the most detail, I've seen, put in to making the student-athlete experience special. To have our crews go out there, in this environment, and get the results that they did was really gratifying."
