"We have a strong core returning on the men's team led by All-Americans Kristopher Joint, Timothy Lorah and Ryan Karnopp that we expect to compete on the national level again this spring," stated Head Coach Jesse Baumann. "The ranking is tremendous for the program but we need the student-athletes to translate it into their performances meet-in and meet-out this season."

The purpose and methodology of the rankings is to create an index that showcases the teams that have the best potential of achieving the top spots in the national team race. Rankings points do not equate with NCAA Championships team points. A full description of the rankings can be found here.
