How to find track and field rankings for colleges?

Hi there, I'm a junior in high school and track and field is my life. I'd love to continue competing in college. Does anyone know where I can find a reliable list of college track and field rankings? Thanks in advance!

Hi! It's great to see your passion for track and field, and wanting to continue competing in college. Typically, colleges and universities fall under the umbrella of a few different athletic associations, such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), or the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

For NCAA schools, you can refer to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) website, which provides rankings for men's and women's track and field teams across NCAA's three divisions (DI, DII, and DIII). The rankings are updated periodically throughout the year, so you can keep an eye on how different teams are performing.

For NAIA schools, you can find the rankings on USTFCCCA as well. That said, you can also find rankings through the NAIA's official website, where they publish track and field rankings during the season.

Finally, for NJCAA schools, you can visit the USTFCCCA website for their track and field rankings. You might also find rankings on the NJCAA site.

These rankings are a good starting point, but keep in mind that choosing the right school for you should also take into consideration factors like academic programs, campus culture, and location. You might want to visit college websites, connect with college coaches, or reach out to current athletes to get a better understanding of each school's track and field program.

Good luck with your college search and your continued success in track and field!
