Cardinal women earn Top 25 ranking after an impressive performance at the ACC Championships
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The Louisville women's track and field team was ranked 25th in the sixth week edition of the USTFCCCA Indoor Team Rankings, the organization announced. It is the first Top 25 ranking for the women's team this season. The Cardinals were previous ranked No. 25 last season on Feb. 27, 2017.
Louisville made the biggest move of the week after finishing third at the ACC Championships on Saturday.  The Cardinals vaulted from No. 60 to No. 25. Louisville saw redshirt senior Emmonnie Henderson jump to No. 2 in the NCAA Division I shot put rankings after her win in the event at the ACC Championships.Â

It should also be mentioned that next week's rankings will change as only declared and accepted entries to NCAAs will be scored.
