The TCU Horned Frogs men's track team is back among the nation's elite, according to the latest Trackwire Top 25 poll. The Frogs are slated to score 14 points at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, placing them in 20th in this week's poll.
Trackwire predicts a second place finish by the Flyin' Frogs in the 4x100 meter relay (8 points), a sixth place finish in the 4x400 meter relay (3 points), a seventh-place finish from Aundre Edwards in the long jump (2 points) and a eighth-place finish from Jackson Langat in the 800 meters (1 point). Michael Frater is also ranked among the nation's "Dandy Dozen" in the 100 (12th).
On the women's side, Monica Twum is ranked 11th in the 100 meters and the 4x100 meter relay team is slated to finish fifth at the national meet.
The Frogs entered the outdoor season ranked in a tie for 17th placed with 14 points, but fell out of the poll a week ago when they were projected to score just eight points at the national meet.
