NEW ORLEANS - Colorado School of Mines' track & field teams remain in the top 10 of the latest USTFCCCA Indoor Ratings Index out this week.
The Oredigger men stay put at #3 while the women rise one spot to #7, marking the third consecutive week that both have been in the top 10. The ratings index is based on each team's NCAA provisional marks and their standing on the national performance list.
The Mines men have a deep portfolio of outstanding performances this season, including the nation's top marks by
Everett Delate (60H) and
Loic Scomparin (3K) plus top-10 performances by
Tim Thompson (800), Scomparin (mile and 5K),
Paul Knight (5K),
Hunter Potrykus (PV),
Holden Murphy (WT), and the DMR.
The women's ranking comes from 16 performers in their respective event top-30s, led by
Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge's national-leading 5K time and
Hayley Rayburn standing #2 in the pole vault. Others in the top 10 include
Margaux Basart (5K),
Claire Kintzley (TJ), and
Avery Wright (pentathlon).
Mines will compete at the Colorado Running Company Mountain Lion Open this Saturday.
