Texas saw the return of Hubert Kos to collegiate competition and added Ksawery Masiuk to the roster in January, which only bolstered their already number 1 ranked team.

They did not lose any dual meets this season, most recently beating the Texas A&M men’s team by more than 100 points 230-70 to round out January. They are done with dual meets for the year, but they are the heavy favorites headed into the SEC Championships later this month.

ASU, Indiana, and Florida all stayed in the same spots in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. ASU and Indiana come in just seven points apart at 379 and 372 respectively.

The biggest jump on the men’s list came from the Stanford team, who made their way into the top five for the first time this season. They jump up from 8th in January. This jump comes after they defeated the Cal men 181-119 at the end of the month.

There were no men’s teams who made their way onto the rankings this month, and no team other than Stanford moved more than two spots. Tennessee made their way back into the top 10, jumping up to 9th from their 11th ranking in January, and Northwestern moves into the top-20 at 19th after they sat in 20th last month.
