SUNY Delhi, Mohawk Valley Continue to Lead NJCAA DIII Rankings

NEW ORLEANS – SUNY Delhi’s men and Mohawk Valley’s women continued to lead the NJCAA DIII track & field team rankings, while two more programs joined the top 25. The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released the computer rankings on Wednesday morning.

More than half of the men’s ranked teams moved around, with the top ten seeing a serious shakeup.

No. 2 Harper is ranked there for the second straight week, though the Hawks are only 0.14 rankings points ahead of No. 3 Montgomery-Rockville, who jumped now-No. 4 Rowan Gloucester and No. 5 Mohawk Valley.

Nos. 6 and 7 Howard and Queensborough switched spots, while No. 8 Suffolk County and No. 10 Kingsborough reprised last week’s rankings and sandwiched the week’s biggest mover: No. 9 Herkimer County, who climbed up from No. 16.

More than half of the women’s top ten held down their exact same rankings from a week ago, including No. 2 Suffolk County, No. 3 SUNY Delhi, No. 6 Harper, No. 7 Kingsborough, and No. 8 Fashion Institute of Technology.

Nos. 4 and 5 Rowan-Gloucester and Montgomery-Rockville flip-flopped, as did Nos. 9 and 10 Queensborough and Howard.

Two programs made their debuts in the rankings. Prince George’s premiered at No. 21 (men) and No. 16 (women), and Sullivan County opened up at No. 23 (men) and No. 21 (women).
