The OU men’s and women’s track teams have moved up in the national rankings following a solid competition at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational last weekend in New York.
The OU women are now ranked No. 19 in the nation and No. 7 in the Midwest Region by the United States Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches Association, and the men are ranked No. 11 in the nation and No. 2 in the Midwest Region.
OU athletes moved up in the individual rankings after last weekend, as well. Seniors George Alex and Malcolm Anderson are now nationally ranked. Alex is 14th in the country in the 3,000-meter run after setting a program record time of 7 minutes, 52.92 seconds on Jan. 27 at the Tyson Invitational. Anderson is currently 22nd in the 60-meter hurdles thanks to his time of 7.80 at the same event.
Both the men’s and women’s teams will be back in action this Friday and Saturday at the Flotrack Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash.
