NCAA DIII Indoor Team Dual Meet Rankings – February 25

NCAA DIII Indoor Team Dual Meet Rankings – February 25

NEW ORLEANS – It’s a clean sweep for UW-La Crosse in the latest NCAA Division III Team Dual Meet Rankings announced Thursday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

The Eagle men joined their female teammates atop the rankings, and put some ground between themselves and formerly top-ranked MIT, to boot. Meanwhile, the UWL women just narrowly held off a surge from, you guessed it, MIT.

It was a meteoric rise for UWL’s men, who improved 19 spots from last week to check in with 183.23 points (more on the points in a moment) – 31 points better than a week ago. MIT managed a one-point improvement to 178.94. No. 3 UW-Whitewater (175.89) held steady, while No. 4 Augustana (Ill.) (175.28) dropped two spots from last time and No. 5 Tufts (173.29) fell one spot.

Each of the top four teams in the women’s rankings held steady. UW-La Crosse (175.56) and MIT (175.06) are still neck-and-neck, with No. 3 Ithaca College (174.04) still very much in the conversation for the top spot. No. 4 UW-Eau Claire (170.35) remained No. 4, while WIAC rival UW-Oshkosh (169.90) joined the rankings at No. 5.

The full rankings – including breakdowns by region, conference and head-to-head match-up – can be found below and on D3Rankings.us.

These rankings, compiled by Carnegie Mellon’s Gary Aldrich and released every Wednesday during the season, differ from the USTFCCCA National Team Computer Rankings in one important respect.

While the USTFCCCA Rankings are designed to forecast how programs might fare at the NCAA Championships, these Team Dual Meet Rankings are indicative of how full teams with two athletes per event would fare in head-to-head competition.

Scores are the sums of all points earned by a team in each event. Only two athletes per team may be considered in each event (and one relay team per event), and an athlete can only be used in up to three events, excluding relays. Points are based on the best marks by those athletes in the current season.

Programs must be a member of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association to be eligible for the rankings. You can check your membership status here. In addition, a member of that program’s coaching staff has to submit the rankings

More information on the process can be found here.
