Women's Rankings
NEW ORLEANS, LA. - The Penn State men's and women's track & field teams check in at No. 21 and No. 19, respectively, in the National Computer Rankings, as released Monday afternoon by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Both Nittany Lion track & field teams are represented in the rankings with the men's team holding the No. 21 spot, while the women climbed 10-spots checking in at No. 19 in the week two rankings following a very successful Penn State National meet.
The Nittany Lions are coming off a meet that saw three school records set in the men's 600-meters (Isaiah Harris), the women's mile (Danae Rivers) and the 3K (Tessa Barrett) as well as several other strong performances on the NCAA and Big Ten level.
While Harris' mark in the 600-meters (1:14.96) is a school record it also doubles at the new collegiate record.
Penn State is home to two NCAA leading marks, 17 top-25 NCAA marks, 10-Big Ten leading marks and 62 top-25 Big Ten marks.
Penn State returns to the track Feb. 3-4 as they host the two-day Sykes & Sabock Challenge Cup starting at 5 p.m. ET Friday afternoon at the Ashenfelter III Indoor Track.
