T-5. D1 Ponte Vedra / D1 Deland

Lurking just outside the top 5 are D1 Toledo, D1 Novi and D1 Rancho Cucamonga.

D1 Hendersonville taking the early lead is no surprise. They were the facility champion of the 2025 D1 National Challenge, and had the top two male finishers as well.

“Being No. 1 right now is a reflection of our culture. We've been intentional about making this more than just a six-week challenge, it's an opportunity for our members to truly bet on themselves. Our coaches have done an incredible job leading from the front, educating, and holding the standard. When the team buys in and the athletes trust the process, momentum follows. Proud of our staff and excited to see the impact over the six weeks,” said the D1 Hendersonville staff.
