2026 Track & Field Team Rankings: Week 12

Week 4 of the Illinois Running News Track & Field Team Rankings brings some movement across all classifications as new performances continue to reshape the projected team scores. These rankings are built using a state meet scoring simulation, awarding points based on where athletes rank statewide in each event and combining those marks to form a projected championship-style team total. Only 9 athletes score in each event at the State Meet, this does not reflect regular meet scoring!
