Teeter’s tied-for-sixth-place finish was the highest by a Miner at regionals since 2018, when Charles Corner tied for third overall at the Pacific Regional.
Teeter’s back-to-back appearances at the NCAA Regionals were the first for a Miner since 2017 and 2018 (Corner).
Teeter made his way to the Sun City from Oklahoma City University (2021-2023) before the 2023-24 campaign, and earned a degree in multidisciplinary studies from The University of Texas at El Paso in December ‘25.
