On the women's side, the Cowgirls jumped one spot to 23 and are one of five Big 12 teams in the poll.

Four Cowgirls own top-35 spots, with Chase Ealey leading the way at No. 4 in the shot put. Savannah Camacho in the 1,500, Aurora Dybedokken in the 5,000 and Clara Nichols in the 800 are the other remaining Cowgirls with top marks.
