Official USTFCCCA Rankings Release: MEN | WOMEN
(Men's Rankings) — Business is picking up with less than six weeks to go until the 2017 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships.
One look at the most recent Men’s National Team Computer Rankings, released Tuesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), reveals 20 of the teams in the top-25 moved around from Week 1 to Week 2.
Ashland and Tiffin are still No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, but a lot changed behind them. In fact, the gap is closing between the Eagles and Dragons and rest of the field.
As a refresher, points in the USTFCCCA National Team Computer Rankings are based on the NCAA Division II Descending Order Lists. The higher an athlete is ranked on the list, the more points he or she provides his or her team. From there, a team’s points are totaled and more points mean a better billing in the top-25.
Grand Valley State held steady at No. 4, while Adams State fell two spots and rounded out the top-5 at No. 5.
(Women's Rankings) — As the weeks progress in the 2017 NCAA Division II Women’s Indoor Track & Field season, one thing is clear: Grand Valley State and Pittsburg State arethe clear-cut favorites to win the team title come March but everything else is up for grabs. GVSU has a grand total of 161.57 points compared to Pittsburg State’s 126.83. The Lakers lost 18.52 points from last week, while the Gorillas gained 14.11.
Hillsdale continues to climb as it went from No. 35 to No. 19. That’s still a far cry from where it was during the preseason (No. 3). Walsh went from No. 40 to No. 22.
The 2017 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships will be held March 10-11 in Birmingham, Alabama at the Birmingham CrossPlex.
