Returning Second Team All-Americans include Lucas Bons (1500m), Casey Clinger (5000m), Zach McWhorter (Pole Vault) and Dallin Shurts (discus throw). The BYU men's 4x400 squad also finished the season at Second Team All-America. Landon Maxfield, Cortez Ruiz and Colten Yardley return to anchor the relay team in 2022.
