NEW ORLEANS – The men’s team at Arkansas is the new No. 1 team in the country according to the latest National Computer Team Rankings released by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The Razorbacks – who were a very close No. 2 in the preseason rankings – took over the top spot from fellow SEC foe Florida who is the two-time defending national champions. Oregon’s women retain No. 1 for the 14th-consecutive week.

Previous Rankings
Arkansas’ men were last ranked No. 1 on February 11, 2009 as part of a three-week tour at the top. The Razorbacks were able to eclipse the Gators in the latest ranking due in large part to the performance of freshman Andrew Irwin in the pole vault. The frosh has already leaped over the 18-foot mark (18-½, 5.50m), earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Oregon’s women have mostly sat idle to begin the season, but their lead so far has been enough to hold off No. 2 LSU and No. 3 Arkansas.
The next round of computer rankings will be released on January 31. The 2012 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships will be held in Nampa, Idaho, on March 9-10.
