New Orleans, LA – The NJCAA Women's Indoor Track & Field National Rating Index, released Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), the top-5 national ranking schools: #1 New Mexico JC, #2 Iowa Central CC, #3 South Plains (Texas), #4 Barton (Kan.) CC and #5 Bryant & Stratton (Va.).

BSC debuts as #5, as our program is only its second year of existence since launching the program in 2018, under Head Coach Claude Toukene.  BSC ranks amongst 4 other schools that have combined to win each and every national title indoors since 2009.  On the men's side, the USTFCCCA announced BSC #16 on the national rating index Wednesday afternoon.

The Bobcats young 2020 team, made up of majority freshmen ladies, has dominated the nation's fastest 4×800 team.  Impact runner, Tamia Arnold, local from Tallwood High School in Virginia Beach VA, who was named National Athlete of the Week on December 10, is the country's third-fastest in the 60 hurdles (8.65) by a JUCO athlete.
