NEW ORLEANS –
The South Carolina track and field women’s team stayed at No. 15 for the second week in a row in the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I National Team Computer Rankings released on Tuesday.

Yet again, the SEC leads the nation with eight teams in the rankings. All eight SEC representatives are in the top 17.

The national team rankings are complied by mathematical formulae based on national descending order lists and data taken from previous seasons. For the preseason ranking and early-season rankings, data will be taken from previous seasons as well as the current season.

The purpose and methodology of the rankings is to create an index that showcases the teams that have the best potential of achieving the top spots in the national team race. Rankings points do not equate with NCAA Championships team points.

South Carolina heads to New York City for the prestigious Armory Collegiate Invitational this week. The meet, which features more than 100 universities and colleges, is set to begin on Friday morning.
