Men's indoor track ranked 23rd in national poll

WATERVILLE, Maine --- The Colby College men's indoor track and field team is ranked 23rd in NCAA Division III in the latest national poll by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's computer poll.

With Dom Kone returning after winning national championships in the 60-meter dash during the indoor season and the 100 dash in the outdoor season, Colby is expected to earn points at the NCAA Division III Championships in March. Colby was 25th in the preseason poll.

The National Computer Team Rankings project how a team will finish at the national meet, rather than a dual or larger meet. Rankings are compiled from meet data in the 2012-13 season, but also from returners from the 2011-12 season.

The men's team will compete at the Maine State Championships at Bowdoin College on Saturday at 5 p.m.
