The first outdoor, postseason meet for the Mississippi State track and field program will be held Thursday, May 12, through Saturday, May 14, at the Ole Miss Track and Field Complex.

The Bulldogs enter Oxford with five different event squads ranked in the top-13 nationally:

It's going to be the toughest meet yet for the Maroon and White, as a total of 16 Southeastern Conference men's and women's track and field programs are ranked in the top-25:

The eight top-25 men's teams lead the nation for any conference. No other league has more than six, while the SEC holds five of the top-six spots.
The eight top-25 women's teams also lead the nation for conferences.
