NEW ORLEANS, La. -- The University of Florida men and University of Arkansas women topped the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Association (USTFCCA) Preseason rankings, it was announced Wednesday. Eight men's SEC teams made the Top-25 list, while seven women's teams did.
Florida checked in at No. 1 for the second year in a row and third time in the past four years behind a well-rounded and deep corps of returners from last indoor season, followed by Texas at a program-best No. 2 and two-time reigning champ Oregon at No. 3. Alabama's fifth-ranking is the highest in program history.
