NEW ORELANS - After briefly falling out of the national rankings, The Haverford College men's track & field team have re-entered the USTFCCCA NCAA Division III Men's Indoor Track & Field National TFRI (Track & Field Ratings Index), checking in as the nation's No. 23 team in the latest release on Tuesday afternoon.
No marks from previous seasons have been used, which means this objective list, which is not a poll in the traditional sense, is compiled solely of current qualifying marks from the 2023 indoor track & field season. The rankings should not be confused as a "form chart" or a hard-line predictor of NCAA Championship team finishes, but merely as an indicator of those who have the best chances and deepest rosters to compete as the nation's best.
The Fords continued to rely on some top marks from the month of January as Jamie Moreland's 29th-ranked 800 meters (0.12 points), and fourth-ranked mile (15.43 points) contributed as well as Ryan Kredell's 11th-ranked 3,000 meters (5.60) and his seventh-ranked 5,000 meter performance (10.17 points). Haverford is the only Centennial Conference school in the national top 25. Regionally, Haverford is third behind the squads from Rowan, and TCNJ.
Entering championship weekend, Haverford is ranked fifth in the Centennial TFRI, which is based solely on the Centennial Conference performance lists (as opposed to the national or regional performance lists).
Haverford enters this weekend's Centennial Conference championships with a strong contingent of medal contenders as action begins on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. with the men's weight throw and continues throughout the weekend, wrapping up late Sunday afternoon.
