The men slide up to No. 13, while the women advance one placement to No. 11 in the rankings. Both programs are coming off strong showings at the UNK Loper Invitational last week.<\/p>\n The FHSU women earned 80.67 points, while the men captured 78.02. The points were tabulated from the computer-based system within the poll. On the women’s side, the Tigers are four MIAA programs to earn a nod, alongside No. 4 Pittsburg State, No. 7 Lincoln and No. 18 Missouri Southern. Three conference programs for the men also made the cut, with the Tigers joining No. 1 Pittsburg State and No. 25 Central Missouri.<\/p>\n For the women, Kelly Wycoff<\/a> has picked up her pace as she now ranks No. 6 in the 200-meters with her time of 24.08, and No. 5 in the 400-meters at 54.95. Madison Wolf<\/a>, who holds the No. 1 placement in the javelin at 167 feet, 3 inches and teammate Alexcia Deutscher<\/a> (No. 3 at 157 feet, 9 inches) also have been dominate on the season for the Tigers.<\/p>\n The men currently have six athletes who rank within the top ten of their specific events. Malcom Gardner<\/a> ranks No. 4 in the 200-meters at 20.97, while Decano Cronin<\/a> has captured an automatic with his No. 2 time in the 800-meters at 1:47.98. Brett Meyer<\/a> sits in No. 8 in the 800-meter with his mark of 1:50.51. In the pole vault, both Sam Dreiling<\/a> and Jake Morrow<\/a> hold the No. 7 spot in the performance list with their height of 16 feet, 9 inches. TJ Dozier<\/a> rounds out the top-ten performances with his No. 9 placement in the discus at 173 feet, 9 inches.<\/p>\n Both squads are back in action Thursday-Saturday as they travel down the road to Lawrence for the Kansas Relays.<\/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 – Both the men and women’s track and field squads improved their previous ranking in… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":162,"featured_media":37831,"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-37830","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\/track.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\/37830","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\/162"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37830"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37830\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37832,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37830\/revisions\/37832"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/37831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
