Complete National Rankings

NEW ORLEANS - While No. 1 Ashland and No. 2 Missouri Southern State retained their rankings, third-ranked Adams State made a big move this week in the women's USTFCCCA Division II Coaches Power Rankings, released this morning by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Adams State competed over the weekend at the Air Force Invitational and finished second in the team point standings with 88 points. Overall meet winner Colorado State had 113 points. The Grizzlies were ranked tenth in last week's rankings.

Following the top three teams (Ashland, Missouri Southern State, and Adams State) in the rankings is Lewis University at No. 4 and fifth-ranked Winona State. Winona State moved up 11 spots this week after being ranked 16th last week.

Making their first appearances in the rankings this week are Kutztown University at No. 6 and Northwest Missouri State at No. 8. Hillsdale, last week's third-ranked team fell to No. 7 this week. Shippensburg and Slippery Rock round out the top ten at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively.

A team's total point score is the sum of all points earned by that team in each event. Teams are allowed to select up to two athletes per event, and an athlete can only be used in a maximum of three events (not including relays). Only one relay team per event can be selected. Schools are responsible for submitting their own results.

The 2008 NCAA Division II Indoor National Championships will be held March 14-15 at Myers Field House on the campus of Minnesota State University in Mankato, Minn.

Adams State is the top-ranked men's team.
