The women fall back one spot to No. 12, while the men improve their seeding to No. 16 in Division II.<\/p>\n The FHSU women earned 72.18 points, while the men captured 59.23. The points were tabulated from the computer-based system within the poll. On the women’s side, the Tigers are one of three MIAA programs to earn a nod, alongside No. 2 Pittsburg State and No. 19 Missouri Southern. Three conference opponents for the men also made the rankings, with No. 1 Pittsburg State and No. 21 Central Missouri joining the Tigers.<\/p>\n The men are led by Decano Cronin<\/a> who produced an automatic qualifying time at the Colorado Invitational in the 800-meter as he won the event at 1:48.66. Three other Tigers earned provisional marks at the competition, including Brett Meyer<\/a> in the 800-meter (1:51.21), Kolt Newell<\/a> in the high jump (6 feet, 9 inches) and TJ Dozier<\/a> in both the hammer (186 feet) and the discus (163 feet, 3 inches). Malcom Gardner<\/a> finished first in the 200-meters at 21.61.<\/p>\n Madison Wolf<\/a> continues to lead the women as she boasts the top throw in Division II in the javelin at 167 feet, 3 inches. In Colorado, Wolf earned a provisional mark as she won the event. Kelly Wycoff<\/a> leads the way on the track as she took second in her two solo events at the Colorado Invitational, with a 24.44 time in the 200-meters and finishing at 56.17 in the 400-meters.<\/p>\n Both Tiger squads are back in competition tomorrow and Thursday as they travel to Kearney for the UNK Loper Invitational which has been reschuled.<\/p>\n Below are the latest USTFCCCA rankings.<\/p>\n Men<\/u><\/strong> Women<\/u><\/strong> By FHSU Sports Information Photo courtesy FHSU SID NEW ORLEANS – After both programs offered strong showings at the Colorado Invitational in Boulder over the… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":37661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7349,4542],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","category-track-sports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/mentrack-1.jpg?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37660"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37662,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37660\/revisions\/37662"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/37661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
