Updated NCAA Performance List for Top Cats

With the Big East championship weekend now past, we can update the top Villanova performers in the NCAA indoor performance lists. Keep in mind that the old style "qualifying standards" approach to making the NCAA D1 indoor championship meet has been scrapped in favor of a "Top 16" approach for each individual event and a "Top 12" approach for all relays. Specifically, qualification to the championships (March 8-9 in Fayetteville, Arkansas) is based on descending-order list for the season and adhering to the qualifying regulations/criteria published on NCAA.org. For each individual event contested, the top 16 declared student-athletes will be accepted into the competition. For each relay event contested, the top 12 declared relay teams will be accepted into the competition. The stated maximums are absolute and will not be extended as a result of ties.

Here are the Villanova athletes who currently sit among the top 50 performers in their respective events; as it stand today, only Sam McEntee (3000 meters), Sam Ellison (800 meters), and the DMR are qualified on the men's side. For the women, only the DMR squad -- #1 in the country -- is in an NCAA-qualifying position right now. More work to be done.
