LWC Men's Indoor Track & Field ranked No. 18

By Charlie Balcom

The Lindsey Wilson men's indoor track & field team slipped two spots to No. 18 in the latest United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association national team computer rankings, the organization announced on Wednesday.

The Blue Raiders received 71.26 points in the fourth ranking of the season and have now fallen two spots in each of the last two rankings. Lindsey Wilson was No. 14, but has now slipped from No. 16 on down to No. 18 during a week when the Blue Raiders were inactive.


Scores in the National Team Computer Rankings were determined by the USTFCCCA computers using preseason event rankings that include the top marks of the recent NAIA indoor track & field seasons by returning student-athletes and the top marks of the young 2016 campaign. The closer an athlete is to the top of his or her event rankings, the more points he or she earns toward the team total. Points from all applicable athletes are added up to determine team scores.

Indiana Tech (479.07 points) and Doane (Neb.) (258.62 points) went unchanged as the top two teams in the ranking, but Wayland Baptist (Texas) overtook Siena Heights (Mich.) for the third highest point total.

Lindsey Wilson remains as the lone team from the Mid-South Conference to be represented in the 25-team rankings.

In the Great Lakes Region, the Blue Raiders continue to hold their No. 8 ranking with 178.69 points.
