NEW ORLEANS – The NCAA Division III Women’s Outdoor Track & Field National Team Computer Rankings continue to evolve as the season progresses.
From the Week 1 rankings to the Week 2 rankings, which were released today by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), only four of the top-25 teams remained in place. Those four teams include the top-3 programs in the nation – No. 1 Washington (Mo.), No. 2 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, No. 3 Williams (all of whom are the only teams with more than 100 points) – and No. 21 Carthage.

Washington (Mo.) | Claremont-Mudd-Scripps | Williams | MIT | Nebraska Wesleyan |
Looking elsewhere, MIT and Nebraska Wesleyan both moved up one spot after UW-La Crosse fell two. The Engineers went from No. 5 to No. 4, while the Prairie Wolves check in at No. 5 after gaining 5.44 points this past week.
You don’t start to see much major movement until you get to No. 11 and No. 14, where Oberlin and St. Norbert take up residence. The former jumped from No. 15 to No. 11 after Naeisha McClain notched a top-10 mark in the shot put (14.00m/45-11¼). The latter soared from No. 24 to No. 14 following a stellar mark by Samantha Morateck in the high jump (2nd in the USTFCCCA Event Rankings, 1.73m (5-8)).
