NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma track and field program debuted in the top 25 on both the men's and women's side as the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its pre-season rankings Wednesday. The OU men come in at sixth while the women are 21st. On the men's side, the Sooners are second among Big 12 programs behind No. 4 Nebraska while the women are fifth among conference foes.
The Oklahoma men were bolstered in the rankings by the arrival of transfer Ronnie Ash, who ranks first in the 60-meter hurdles. The defending NCAA champion in the event comes to Norman from Bethune-Cookman. Ash is joined in the event's top 10 by junior college transfer Malcolm Anderson who comes in at No. 9.
The national runner-up in last year's indoor triple jump, sophomore Will Claye opens the 2010 indoor season in that same spot in the rankings. Claye also opens the season in the top 10 of the long jump, coming in at No. 5.
The first Oklahoma runner to record a sub-four-minute mile, 2009 All-American Jacob Boone ranks eighth in the event as does K.P. Singh in the weight throw.
On the women's side, four athletes rank among the nation's top 10 in their respective events led by Memphis transfer Charlotte Abrahamsen at No. 5 in the women's pentathlon. The Norwegian native was an All-American in the event in 2008.
The defending Big 12 champion in the long jump, Ti'Anca Mock ranks seventh in the event while Scottesha Miller, a 2009 All-American, is eighth in the 200-meter dash.
Rounding out the women's top-10 appearances is Latoya Greaves at No. 9 in the 60-meter hurdles. The Jamaican native claimed the Big 12 crown in the event in 2008 before taking a year off in 2009 and returning to the Oklahoma program this season.
The two teams open the season this Friday at the Arkansas Invitational against host Arkansas and Mississippi. The Arkansas men rank No. 5 nationally while the women are No. 17.
