01/30/26 | Acrobatics & Tumbling
EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon is ranked No. 2 in the 2026 National Collegiate Acrobatics & Tumbling Association preseason coaches' poll, the NCATA announced Friday.
Â
The Ducks, who won three event finals and finished as national runners-up last season, are one of four teams to receive first-place votes, joining top-ranked Baylor, No. 3 Quinnipiac and one unranked team.
Â
It marks Oregon's second No. 2 preseason ranking under coach Taylor Susnara. The Ducks have not been ranked lower than fifth in the preseason poll since Susnara took over the program in 2021.

All but one of Oregon's 2026 opponents are ranked in the top 15. The Ducks' home schedule features No. 3 Quinnipiac, No. 4 Iona and No. 9 Gannon. Oregon will travel to No. 13 Hawaii Pacific and will face No. 1 Baylor in both home and road meets.
