The Arizona triathlon team finished 19th out of 77 teams at the USA Triathlon Collegiate National Champions in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The women Tricats placed 11th while the men's team placed 29th. Senior Kyle Watson had the women's best overall score, finishing 57th out of 329 athletes, also the highest finish of any Tricat.
Watson completed the Olympic distance Triathlon, a 1.5-kilometer swim, 40K bike ride and 10K run, with a time of 2:27:57. Cameron Green had the best men's finish and the team's best overall time, completing the race in 2:11:20.
Green said the finish was "a big improvement" over last year, when Arizona placed 24th out of 50 teams - solidly in the middle of the pack.
