🔼 Back On Top. This week’s USTFCCCA rankings are out and the Tigers are back on top! The women’s track & field team moved back into the No. 1 spot, while the men’s team stayed at No. 4.

🔼 Hot Shot. After a phenomenal few weeks of competition, Claudio Romero was named the SEC Men’s Field Athlete of the Week!
