In its most recent poll, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association ranked the BYU women’s squad No. 8 and the men’s squad No. 16.

The Cougars’ last opportunity to compete at the indoor championships was in 2019 after the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the 2020 championships right before the competition began.
