2021 NJCAA DIII Men’s Outdoor Track & Field Rating Index – Week 1

NEW ORLEANS – Here is the first installment of the NJCAA Division III Men’s Outdoor Track & Field National Rating Index for the 2021 season, as released on Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

To wit: We’re only using marks from the current season, which gives a true look at which teams are performing the best at the current moment. That means the National TFRI will continue to evolve throughout the season and gives you more reason to keep checking back!
