With a late push in the marks department, Nebraska takes its first-ever indoor dual meet championship. Gary Pepin’s Huskers were #6 in the year’s first compilation and moved up to #4 last week before claiming top honors. Indiana, the only other Big 10 team to ever win the men’s indoor title (’17), holds down #2 while 3-time indoor champ Texas A&M is #3.
Army is #8 after routing archrival Navy, 100-81. That ranking is their best ever in the indoor rankings, and ties the high-water mark for service academies (Air Force was #8 in ’16).
To be ranked, a team must compete in one or more dual meets (defined as a scored meet between four or fewer teams) during the indoor season. Teams are ranked on wins and losses, marks, and strength and depth of dual meet schedule. Teams are rewarded for taking dual meet competition seriously.
