WACO, Texas - The Baylor men's 4x400-meter relay squad is ranked No. 1 according to Trackwire's Dandy Dozen after defeating previously top-ranked LSU and fourth-ranked Arizona State this past weekend in Boise, Idaho. Overall, the men moved up one spot and are tied for 9th, while the women jumped up two spots into a tie for 14th in the Trackwire 25 released Tuesday.

The men's 4x400 relay squad is comprised of sophomore Jeremy Wariner, junior Darold Williamson, sophomore Jamen Saziru and freshman Mark Teter. Wariner, who won a head-to-head matchup of the previous top 5 this past weekend, is now ranked second in the country behind Minnesota's Mitch Potter, while Williamson is ranked seventh.

Senior Jordan Willmann has been ranked No. 2 in the pentathlon behind Georgia's Hyleas Fountain all season, while junior April Holliness is ranked No. 3 in the long jump behind Nebraska's Ineta Radevica and Fountain. Junior Lakadron Ivery broke into the Dandy Dozen in the 60 meters, debuting at No. 5
