2024 NAIA Men’s Indoor Track & Field Rating Index – Week 2

NEW ORLEANS – Cumberlands (Ky.) extended its program-best No. 1 ranking another week and three changes among the top-5 highlight the Week 2 edition of the NAIA Men’s Indoor Track & Field National Rating Index, as released Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Marian (Ind.) improved its program best in rising to No. 3, while Indiana Tech’s presence at No. 4 is the Warriors’ first top-5 showing since 2022 (when they completed 30-straight rankings at No. 1). No marks from previous seasons have been used, which means this objective list is compiled solely of current marks from the 2024 indoor track & field season.

National TFRI is presented by AthleticNET.
