AUSTIN, Texas -- The University of Texas men’s track and field team moved up to No. 3 in the latest national rankings released by the USTFCCCA (U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association).  The Longhorns trail only top-ranked Florida State and second-ranked LSU in the team rankings. 

UT holds the No. 4 spot in the Trackwire.com rankings.  The web site determines its rankings based on its projected finishes in each event at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.  Trackwire projects eight top-five finishes for the Longhorns, including a first-place finish in the decathlon for senior Trey Hardee (Birmingham, Ala.), the defending NCAA champion.
