Without top transfer Eric Jenkins and NCAA 1500 champion Mac Fleet, the Ducks scored 22 points in Beantown, easily dispatching of a talented field that included No. 10 Syracuse, No. 18 Providence and No. 19 Wisconsin. Freshmen Edward Cheserek and Jake Leingang were the top two finishers for the Ducks.

Oklahoma State received all 12 first-place votes and Colorado leapfrogged Northern Arizona for second place in the polls. UCLA moved up one spot to No. 12, Stanford dropped three spots to No. 23, and Arizona State moved up one spot to No. 28.

On the women’s side, Oregon dropped two spots to No. 5 after finishing second to No. 1 Providence at this past weekend’s meet. Arizona switched places with Oregon, jumping from No. 5 to No. 3, and Colorado jumped one spot to No. 14. Washington and Stanford stayed at No. 7 and No. 8, respectively.
