ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAtheltics.com) - The UCF track and field team is ranked No. 13 in the nation in the first outdoor regular-season poll, according to the USTFCCCA's National Team Computer Rankings released Tuesday. The Knights have now ranked among the country's best for 16-straight weeks dating to April 26, 2011.

The Knights, who did not compete this past weekend, bumped down one spot from their preseason ranking. UCF is just two spots below Florida (No. 11) but is ahead of Florida State (No. 23) and fellow Conference USA member UTEP (No. 25). Oregon leads the way followed by LSU and Clemson as the nation's top three programs.

Six Knights currently rank among the nation's top 25 in their respective individual events, and UCF's 4x100 Relay weighs in at No. 6 in the country. UCF will head to the Florida Relays in Gainesville on Friday and Saturday.
