NEW ORLEANS, LA. – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released the men's indoor track & field rankings for week one on Tuesday, tabbing Anderson fifth in the Southeast Region.
 
"We understand that it is super early in the season and current rankings don't necessarily mean anything when it comes to the end of the year." said Director of Cross Country Track & Field Kevin Eagle.  "However, it does show that we are in a great spot compared to other teams within the region at this moment. We will continue to build toward peaking at the end of February/early March when everything truly matters."
 
Leading the poll in the Southeast Region is fellow South Atlantic Conference opponent Wingate followed by conference foe Carson-Newman. Also ahead of Anderson is No. 3 Mount Olive and No. 4 Converse.
 
The Black & Gold started the 2025-26 campaign with three incredible performances at the Clemson Opener, Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener hosted by Boston University, Tryon Winter Classic and the Orange & Purple Invitational hosted by Clemson University. The history books have been re-written as the Trojans have notched seven school records and tallied two National qualifying marks.
 
Anderson returns from the break when they travel to Winston-Salem, N.C. to compete in the Camel City Sprints/Camel City Distance meet hosted by JDL Fast Track on Friday, Feb. 6 and Saturday, Feb. 7.
