The Cougars earned an at-large bid to the championships after finishing fifth at the Pac-12 Championships on Sunday. Twenty-two teams were selected to the team championships with 11 conferences being awarded automatic qualifiers and the remaining 11 spots being filled by at-large bids.
This is the sixth-straight season the Cougars have been selected to the team championships and their 12th time overall.
University of Washington received the conference automatic qualifier and University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University and University of Southern California were among the other Pac-12 schools selected as at-large bids.
