2024 NAIA Men’s Indoor Track & Field Rating Index – Week 4

NEW ORLEANS – Seven teams in the top-10 have new rankings, but that doesn’t include Cumberlands (Ky.), which continues at No. 1 in the Week 4 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).

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.

All 13 NAIA conferences hold their championships this week (one already in the books) as we’re just over two weeks away from the 2024 NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships, scheduled February 29-March 2 at Dakota State’s Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex in Brookings, South Dakota.

National TFRI is presented by AthleticNET.
