NEW ORLEANS — The 3rd week of NCAA Division I Women’s Outdoor Team Rankings – as released by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Monday – showed little change to the top of the pack, as the top-10 from a week ago remained relatively intact.

Oregon, Arkansas, Kentucky, LSU and Southern California stayed in 1st through 5th, respectively, for the 2nd-straight week, while Texas A&M (8th) and Texas (9th) also stayed put from a week ago.

The only true movement in the top-10 saw Florida (6th) and Georgia (7th) flip flop spots in addition to Stanford jumping one spot to 10th.

The Gators got a jump in the rankings after Yanis Davis recorded the nation’s top triple jump mark at the Horned Frog Invitational. The sophomore leapt 13.92m (45-8), giving Florida just enough push to leapfrog Georgia after the Bulldogs had a relatively quiet week at the Gamecock Invitational.

Oregon continued its dominating season at the Mt. SAC Relays, where the Ducks posted 4 top NCAA Division I marks on the season, as well as a new collegiate record. Raevyn Rogers broke a 27-year-old record in the 800 meters, running a 1:59.10 to lead the way in California. She was not alone, though, as Deajah Stevens ran the top times in the nation this year in the 100 meters (11.00) and 200 meters (22.31) in addition running the 2nd leg of the 4×100 relay that posted a national-leading time of 42.12. Ariana Washington (11.06 in the 100 meters) and Katie Rainsberger (4:13.25 in the 1500 meters) both ran the 2nd-best times in their respective events in the country over the weekend.

Oregon wasn’t the only top-5 program to have a solid weekend.

Arkansas saw Nikki Hiltz run the nation’s fastest 1500 meter time (4:12.71) at the Bryan Clay Invite. A trio of Kentucky field athletes in Sha’Keela Saunders (long jump), Olivia Gruver (pole vault) and Marie-Josee Ebwea-Bile (triple jump), as well as Kiah Seymour (400 hurdles) posted top-10 marks in their respective events at the Texas Invitational.

The Mt. SAC Relays were good to LSU and Southern California. The Tigers got a pair of top-10 finishes out of its 4×100 and 4×400 relay squads at the Mt. SAC Relays. Individually, Kortnei Johnson (11.09) and Mikiah Brisco (11.14) posted the 5th and 7th-fastest times in the 100 meters in NCAA Division I, respectively, in California, while Ruby Stauber’s time of 2:03.77 in the 800 meters is good for 8th on the year. The Trojans Deanna Hill ran a 22.59 in the 200 meters, good for 3rd in the nation this year.
