2024 NAIA Women’s Indoor Track & Field Rating Index – Week 3

NEW ORLEANS – The stranglehold is now at 39-straight.

That’s Indiana Tech’s streak at No. 1 in the NAIA Women’s Indoor Track & Field National Rating Index, as the Week 3 edition was released Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Seven changes in the top-10 included William Carey (Miss.) and Concordia (Neb.) flip-flopping again in positions No. 2 and 3, and Cumberlands (Ky.) reached the top-5 for the first time in program history. 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.
