Both Cougar squads remain among the top-30
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Track & Field program continues to have both its men's and women's teams ranked among the top-30 in the NCAA following a strong weekend of performances at the Texas A&M Invitational. The Houston men sit at No. 17 and the Houston women at No. 26 in the latest USTFCCCA poll.
Â
The Cougar men dropped six spots to No. 17 after sending a group of individuals to College Station for two days of meet action last weekend. Houston holds eight marks that rank among the top-32 in the NCAA this season, including the NCAA-leading time in the 4x100-meter relay.
Â
On the women's side, Houston sits just outside the top-25 at No. 26 in the USTFCCCA Poll. The Cougar women have recorded 11 performances this season that sit among the top-32 in the NCAA. This past weekend both Nora Monie and Mikaila Martin secured program record and facility record throws at the Texas A&M Invitational. Monie's mark of 56.50m (185-5) in the discus ranks 11th in the NCAA this season as Martin's throw of 66.71m (218-10) in the Hammer Throw sits at No. 7 among collegians this season. Taylor Scaife secured a personal-best in the Hammer Throw in College Station, earning the 25th farthest throw this season in the NCAA at 64.00m (210-0).
Houston will return to action on April 16-17 in Baton Rouge at the Boots Garland Invitational hosted by LSU.
