Harding Men's Track and Field Ranked No. 10 in Latest National Poll

SEARCY - Harding men's track and field team is ranked No. 10 nationally in the latest USTFCCCA National TFRI rankings, released Tuesday. The Bisons slipped one spot from last week's ranking at No. 9.

Harding's high ranking can be attributed to standout performances from several athletes. Vlad Malykhin leads the charge in the pole vault, ranked No. 1 with a mark of 5.61m (18-4¾). Yves Bilong is ranked No. 5 in the triple jump with a mark of 15.60m (51-2¼), and Kelmen de Carvalho is ranked No. 5 in the decathlon with 7,140 points.

The Bisons will look to improve their ranking as they send a contingent of athletes to the Arkansas Twilight on Friday. Harding will then host its own last-chance meet on May 11 ahead of NCAA Outdoor Nationals invitations being released next week.
