NEW ORLEANS — No. 2 Arkansas has moved inside the top-five in the latest Terry Crawford Program of the Year Award standings following its runner-up team finish last weekend at the 2018 NCAA Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas.

Teams must qualify for each of the NCAA Championships (cross country, indoor and outdoor) to be eligible for the award.

A team receives points based on its finish at each championship event (i.e. first = 1 point, 10th = 10 points) and the points are added together with each passing season.

The team with the lowest score following the completion of the NCAA Outdoor Championships is determined the winner.

3. Stanford – 12
