DIII Outdoor Track & Field Preseason Team Rankings Announced

 

March 28, 2012

 

NEW ORLEANS -- The USTFCCCA released Preseason National Team Computer Rankings for the 2012 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field season on Wednesday. The men's list is headed by UW-La Crosse (185.30) who is ever-so slightly ahead of in-state and in-conference rival UW-Oshkosh (185.12). On the women's side, Wartburg leads by a wide margin to start the season, coming off an indoor national title where they set an NCAA meet-record with 99 points.
