Texas stormed to the front in the first National TFRI of the season. The Longhorns have 12 national top-10 marks on the Descending Order List, including a trio of No. 1s: Tyra Gittens in the long jump (6.82mw/22-4½); the 4×100 relay at 42.42; the 4×400 relay clocking 3:22.94. Kennedy Simon, who runs on the top-ranked 4×400 relay, also owns the second-best time in the 200 this year.

Texas Tech will start the season at No. 2. The Red Raiders have 11 top-10 nationally ranked performances in the first few weeks of the season, with six of those residing in the top-5.

Monae’ Nichols (long jump) and Kayli Johnson (shot put) are also ranked No. 2 in their respective events.

LSU will come into the outdoor season as the No. 3 team. The Tigers may only have 6 national top-10 mark, but those come with some punch as they all sit in the top-5, including two No. 1s: Alia Armstrong turned in a windy 12.33 in the 100H for the fastest all-conditions mark in collegiate history; Lisa Gunnarsson has the top clearance of 4.65m (15-3) in the pole vault.

Texas A&M debuts at No. 4. With seven top-10 national marks, no one has been better than Lamara Distin in the high jump. She holds the national lead after clearing 1.96m (6-5) to become the fifth-best performer in collegiate history. Deborah Acquah holds a pair of top-5 rankings in the long jump and triple jump.

Florida rounds out the top-5 in Week 1. Coming off of an NCAA title indoors, the Gators are back to work and have seven top-10 marks, including three national leading marks. Anna Hall shined for the Gators with her heptathlon score of 6412 become the fourth-best performer in collegiate history. She also holds the national lead in the 800 (2:04.61). Natricia Hooper holds the Gators’ third national-leading mark in the triple jump (13.91m/45-7¾)
