NEW ORLEANS – A slow week in the world of NCAA Division II Men’s Outdoor Track & Field resulted in relatively unchanged National Team Rankings, as the top-six teams held their ground from a week ago, announced the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Tuesday..
However, the bottom part of the top-10, as well as a few spots on the outskirts of the top-10, did undergo a significant alteration, as spots seven through 13 shuffled after a week of action.

West Texas A&M saw the biggest jump of all teams on the week, as the Buffs moved up nine spots to seventh in the rankings. The Buffs returned to the top-10 for the first time since Week 3, despite taking the week off ahead of the LSC Outdoor Championships.
Colorado Mines also rejoined the top-10 with a three-spot jump to eighth after a solid weekend at the RMAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Jake Pinkston punched his ticket to the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships with an Automatic Qualifying Mark in the pole vault, clearing 5.28m (17-3¾). Patrick Weaver also added the seventh-best 400 time in NCAA Division II this season at 1:49.94 (converted to 1:49.13 for altitude).
Ashland jumped one spot in the rankings to ninth thanks to the outings from Myles Pringle and Alex Hill at the Ashland Alumni Open. Pringle recorded the fifth-best high jump mark in NCAA Division II this season at 2.14m (7-0¼), while Hill added the sixth-best discus throw in NCAA Division II on the year at 54.49m (178-9).
