Bustos did not compete for the Wolfpack last year when the men’s program finished 3rd with 1021 points, behind Stanford (2nd, 1065 points) and Cal (1st, 1271.5 points). He did not compete at all for the team during the 2024-2025 season as he was dealing with injury. His return is key as NC State looks to vie for the team title this week in Atlanta.

Coming into ACCs this week, Bustos had only been as fast as a 1:47.88 this season, a time from midseason. That sat well outside of the 1:42.65 that it took to make the 2025 NCAA Championships. Midseason was the last time he competed in the event, although he did compete in three of the team’s dual meets in January.
