UW-La Crosse is the fourth and latest team to take over the No. 1 spot in the National TFRI. The Eagles added or improved three national top-10 marks this past weekend, including an NCAA DIII-leading mark from Emma Lawrence in the 400-meter hurdles of 1:00.37. Emma Malooly cracked the top-5 nationally in the steeplechase with her 10:50.47 effort, while the UW-La Crosse 4×400 relay team is now ranked third nationally following its 3:47.81 effort this past weekend.

Former No. 1 Washington (Mo.) dropped one spot to No. 2. The Bears aren’t too far behind the Eagles, as just 4.46 ranking points separates them. WashU received one national top-10 effort this past weekend from Mycah Clay in the 100 meters, as she went 11.97 for the No. 7 mark. The Bears have 11 national top-10 marks in their collection this season.

Loras fell one spot from No. 2 to No. 3 between Week 5 and Week 6. The Duhawks saw Kassie Parker turn in another all-time effort – this time in the 5000 meters. Parker went 16:09.66 in the top section of the Drake Relays to move up to No. 4 in divisional history and second on the seasonal chart behind Ella Baran of Johns Hopkins, who is ranked second all-time.

Speaking of the Blue Jays, they’re still perched at No. 4. Victoria Kadiri gave Johns Hopkins its best mark of the past weekend with her now third-ranked 12.22m (40-1¼) effort.

SUNY Geneseo held steady at No. 5. The Knights, who have six national top-10 marks, added or improved one this past weekend with its now ninth-ranked 4×400 relay of 3:50.84.

Here are the rest of the top-10 teams in Week 6: No. 6 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (up one spot), No. 7 Wartburg (up four spots), No. 8 WPI (up four spots), No. 9 Rochester (N.Y.) (up four spots) and No. 10 UChicago (down four spots).
