But we've continued in our pursuit to identify the very best talent from every single track and field graduating class. In the time since, we've been rolling out rankings for each ensuing class, and then providing updates as athletes progress over their careers.
And yet, this week marks a first.
As it's been nearly a full college cycle since our first recruiting ranking, we have decided to go back and re-rank every member of the class as they stand now.
What you'll find shouldn't surprise you.
The Class of 2018 is comprised of 2020 Olympians, NCAA Champions, college record holders and conference title winners.
Check out how the list ranks now. You can check our men's list here.
