The Florida State men's track and field team has taken over the top spot in two national polls.
The U.S. Track & Field Coaches Association and Trackwire Top 25 rank FSU No. 1 this week ahead of perennial champion Arkansas.
With Walter Dix (100 meters), Garrett Johnson (shot put), Tom Lancashire (800 meters) and Rafeeq Curry (triple jump) ranked No. 1 in their events, FSU appears poised for a run at the NCAA outdoor title.
"There's not a day that goes by that we don't analyze what we have to do," FSU track coach Bob Braman said.
FSU finished third in March at the NCAA indoor championships behind Arkansas and LSU. The Seminoles were tied for fourth at the outdoor championships last season.
The FSU women's team is ranked 14th in the coaches poll and 15th by Trackwire.
The FSU track teams return to action April 20-22 at the ACC outdoor championships in Winston-Salem, N.C.
