Champions for the Tigers were Caleb Wise (160) and Zach Marcheselli (195), while Tyler Lawley (120) and Trenton Lieurance (285) finished second. Additional top four medalists were Jackson Cockrell (106) placing third and Tajuan Daniels (132) finishing fourth. Six others placed in the second bracket, including five in sixth place.
