We developed a formula to rank the top 25 athletes in NCAA Division I track and field based on who will make the most impact at the 2016 NCAA Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Alabama.

This week's rankings for the first time feature freshman Allie Ostrander (12th) and redshirt freshman Justyn Knight (12th). Despite zero NCAA indoor championship experience between the two of them they shot up the rankings due to their strong performances in two events.

FloTrack Power Rankings Criteria:
- 2015 Indoor NCAA Performance
- 2015 Outdoor NCAA Performance
- 2015 Indoor Best Mark (2014 if redshirted 2015)
- 2016 Indoor Best Mark
