TDR Notes;  Newberry made history at Nationals in Houston with two Individual Champions and a strong Team Runner-Up finish.
Team performances by North Carolina, UNC-Greensboro and Appalachian State solidifies the final team rankings.
The Wolfpack bring home an Individual championship with Caldwwell's MOW upset of Metcalf.  Duke's Dudziak becomes Duke's
first All-American and came within a whisker of winning it all.
