NJCAA Indoor National Rankings: South Plains Still On Top
NEW ORLEANS—South Plains held onto its perch as the No. 1 NJCAA men’s and women’s indoor track & field team, and two new teams joined the top five along with dozens of teams changing places. The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released the rankings on Wednesday.

The rest of the men’s top five was reshuffled, as Central Arizona climbed two spots to No. 2. New No. 3 Iowa Central and No. 4 Iowa Western each moved down a spot; Western Texas moved up to No. 5.
On the women’s side, No. 2 Iowa Central, No. 3 New Mexico JC, and No. 5 Coffeyville held on to their respective rankings.
It was a good week for the Central Arizona program, as their No. 4 women’s team also joined the top five.
Three men’s teams joined the top 25: No. 21 Garden City, No. 22 Johnson County, and No. 25 Hutchinson. The same number of women’s programs were newly ranked: No. 23 Gillette, No. 24 DuPage, and No. 25 Hutchinson.
Two teams took over the No. 1 spot in their respective regional rankings: the Coffeyville men in the Central, and the Monroe women in the Atlantic.
