NCAA Division II Rankings Central

The three-time defending national champion men of Saint Augustine's replaced Texas A&M-Kingsville atop the men's rankings – announced Tuesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) – and they were joined at No. 1 by the Saint Augustine's women.

With a majority of teams around the country having now finally made their opening salvos of the 2016 outdoor campaign, the rankings are now in the early stages of showing how the national team title races could play out.

The Falcons (217.43 points) checked in with a sizeable lead over TAMU-Kingsville (157.60), with No. 3 Grand Valley State (130.71), No. 4 Chico State (105.30) and No. 5 Alaska Anchorage (99.53) rounding out the top five for the men.

Behind the SAU women (182.52 points), Johnson C. Smith (165.26) dropped one spot followed by No. 3 Shorter (119.24), No. 4 Grand Valley State (113.46) and No. 5 Chico State (112.08).

The National Team Computer Rankings are complied by a mathematical formula 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.
