Men’s Track and Field No. 16 in Week Four USTFCCCA Indoor Rating Index
2/18/2025 | Track and Field
NEW ORLEANS – Ole Miss men's track & field ranks No. 16 in the latest USTFCCCA Indoor Rating Index released Tuesday morning.
This marks the 55th total top-25 appearance for the Ole Miss men indoors since the rating system began in 2008, the 30th under 10th-year head coach Connie Price-Smith. Of the now 112 total indoor rankings appearances in Ole Miss history, Price-Smith owns 79 (49 women, 30 men).
The USTFCCCA's National Rating Index is a computer rating system which uses an algorithm that emphasizes individual performances, assigning a point value to each individual mark that contributes to a team total to assess its national ranking.
Junior and Bowerman watch list member Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan currently accounts for 43.29 of Ole Miss' 49.35 points in the Week Four index. The reigning indoor and outdoor shot put champion continues to hold a commanding lead of the NCAA rankings this season after his career-best heave of 21.11m/69-03.25 (25.03 points) from last week. Robinson-O'Hagan also ranks third in the NCAA and leads the SEC with his career-best 24.17m/79-03.75 (18.26 points).
Fellow junior Arvesta Troupe currently owns 5.60 points himself with his high jump career-best of 2.21m/7-3, ranking him 11th overall in Division I.
Other Rebel men contributing are junior Bryson Smith in the weight throw (25th, 21.81m/71-06.75) and senior Toby Gillen both in the 5K (25th, 13:28.34) and the 3K (34th, 7:48.66).
Ole Miss will send a small distance delegation to Notre Dame's Alex Wilson Invite this Saturday, Feb. 22, while the remainder of the squad will rest in preparation for the 2025 SEC Indoor Championships, which are set for Feb. 27 to March 1 at Texas A&M.
