WACO, Texas – Baylor acrobatics & tumbling earns first-place ranking in the NCATA’s National Rankings, released Wednesday by the organization.



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 have 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.



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.



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.

The Bears return to the mats on Saturday, April 1, when they face No. 5 Oregon at 5 p.m. in the Ferrell.
