AU Men Third, Women 16th In Week 3 USTFCCCA Rankings

Following two automatic and 11 provisional nationals efforts in the 2016 outdoor openers, Ashland University's men's and women's track and field teams have made their season debuts in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field National Team Computer Rankings.

Strong showings at the Raleigh Relays and the ADIDAS Winthrop University Invitational have the Eagle men ranked No. 3 and the AU women slotted No. 16 in Division II. Both teams were unranked in the first two weeks of the season, since they hadn't yet competed outdoors.

Ashland's men and women will compete at the Wooster Invitational on Friday (April 1) and Saturday (April 2).
