Men are 16th, women are 8th in the first dual meet polls of the season.

Probably about right, based on performances thus far.

The men should obviously place higher than 16th at NCAA's, but given that this is based on dual meets, and that the voters probably haven't seen enough times to get a good grasp of the Ags, the rankings are fair.

FWIW, 16th is higher than the men were most of last season in the dual meet polls.

That's a great start for the men, probably the highest in a half-decade. Congrats to them. I think they will be able to maintain that spot throughout the season based on their ranking and schedule.

The girls are about in the right spot. They've got some heavy hitters in front of and behind them. Should they throw down some solid times at their invite I could see them being able to bump up a few spots. We have lots of ladies we've never seen rest yet since coming here. Looking forward to seeing those times.

Most impressive that they start that high when they are going to lean fairly heavily on freshmen...
