Men's @RazorbackTF Ranked No. 3 In NCAA D1 National Team Rankings
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – On Monday (Feb. 9) the United States Track & Field/Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its third regular season edition of the NCAA Division I National Team Computer Rankings and the Arkansas men’s track and field team checked in at No. 3 for the third consecutive week.
The USTFCCCA also released the third regular season NCAA Division I Regional Rankings and the Razorbacks moved down a spot into the No. 2 slot in the South Central Region.
The national team rankings are compiled by mathematical formulae based on national descending order lists. The purpose and methodology of the rankings is to create an index that showcases the teams that have the best potential of achieving the top spots in the national team race. Rankings points do not equate with NCAA Championships team points. Preseason rankings included marks from 2014, and the National Team Computer Rankings will continue to do so through the third regular-season edition.
In their last outing the Razorbacks competed at the 2015 Razorback Invite at the Randal Tyson Track Center (Jan. 30-31). The reigning SEC Indoor Track Champions used a late surge on day two to take the team title. The Razorbacks picked up the win with 85.5 points, edging second place Florida (85 points) by a half of a point.
The Razorbacks will return to the track this weekend when they host the Tyson Invitational at the Randal Tyson Track Center (Feb. 13-14). Arkansas will also send a few athletes to Seattle, Wash. to participate in the Husky Classic on the campus of the University of Washington during Feb. 13-14.
