After breaking six school records in 2017, MSU's women find themselves ranked inside the top 25 nationally by the USTFCCCA
Women’s Track & Field Earns Highest Ranking Since 2015
February 14, 2017 | Track & Field
STARKVILLE, Miss. – For the first time since the 2015 season, Mississippi State's women find themselves ranked inside the USTFCCCA's top 25 poll, checking in at No. 25 nationally.
The ranking is the highest for the women's squad since acquiring a No. 12 ranking in March of the 2015 season. Seven Bulldogs currently own marks inside the top 15 nationally, including Logan Boss (fifth in high jump), Tiffany Flynn (11th in triple jump), Brianna Smith (15th in weight throw) and the DMR team of Ffion Price, Alon Lewis, Charlotte Cayton-Smith and Rhianwedd Price (eighth in DMR).
The ladies squad has shattered six school records so far this season. Twice in 2017, Logan Boss has broken the Bulldog record in the high jump. Mia Meydrich shattered the 3000m run record in Boston, and Tiffany Flynn obliterated the school record in the triple jump. Haley Reynolds is now the school record holder in the shot put, while Brianna Smith captured the weight throw record last week in Nashville. Ffion Price, Alon Lewis, Charlotte Cayton-Smith and Rhianwedd Price also shattered the school record in the distance medley relay by a full five seconds.
The Bulldogs are one of nine teams from the loaded SEC in the USTFCCCA's top 25 poll, the most by any conference. MSU has just one meet remaining in the regular season before traveling to Nashville to compete against the nation's best at the SEC Indoor Championships.
"We are really proud of the ladies for what they have accomplished so far this season," MSU coach Steve Dudley said. "Obviously we are not satisfied with a midseason ranking, but it is nice to see their hard work rewarded and recognized. The way they have performed this season has been spectacular, and we are really excited to see what they will be able to accomplish at SEC's and beyond."
