IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa men’s track and field team debuted at No. 25 in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Top 25 Division I National Team Computer Rankings released Monday.
The Hawkeyes were unranked when the preseason poll was announced March 24, but have since climbed eight spots following nationally-ranked individual performances at the Baldy Castillo Invitational, Florida Relays, and Stanford Invitational.
