Standings Context

FAMU ended Day 1 in 12th place out of 16 teams. They finished just ahead of Jackson State (4,461) and Prairie View A&M (4,442), and within striking distance of Alabama State (4,649). The top teams, like Jacksonville State (5,536) and Nebraska (5,255), established a strong lead, but the Rattlers are well-positioned to move up with solid traditional matches tomorrow.
