Bears top the charts in first iteration of 2023 rankings
WACO, Texas – Baylor acrobatics & tumbling earned a first-place ranking in the NCATA's National Rankings, released Wednesday by the organization.
Â
The Bears, reigning seven-time NCATA Champions, once again top the charts. BU, currently 6-0, is on a 22-meet winning streak dating back to 2021 and has earned 280-point final scores in four of the six meets this season, the only school to do so. This is the ninth time Baylor has been ranked No. 1 in the regular-season polls since 2015.
Â
The NCATA championships committee considers the overall performance of teams throughout the season thus far and utilized the following criteria to consider team rankings – win/loss record, head-to-head competition, strength of schedule, common opponents, average meet score, average meet start value, score differential (execution) and the teams' progression throughout the season.
Â
There will be two more sets of regular season rankings released on April 5 and April 12 ahead of the championships. The NCATA Championship field of eight and at-large qualifiers for individual event finals will be released on Monday, April 17.
