| Rank | Team (first place votes) | Region | Points | Rank Last Week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stanford (10) | W | 298 | 2 |
| Third last year at the NCAA meet behind Villanova and BYU in the tightest team finish in NCAA history, Stanford won the NCAA team title in 1996, then finished 2nd in ’97 to BYU by a mere 2 points. Stanford’s 1-2 punch–Julia Stamps (6th, 4th ’97) and Sally Glynn (5th, 20th ’97)–is devastating. Joining this twosome is US World Jr team member Caroline Annis (40th), Mary Haung (54th), Courtney Adams (137th), and Laura Turner (156th), as well as Ann Ramsey (69th ’97) and Canadian world Jr champs team member Malindi Elmore (4:23 1500). Joining this already formidable force is the nation’s best recruiting class: 2- time Foot Locker champ Erin Sullivan, the ’98 Foot Locker runner-up Lauren Fleshman, ’97 Foot Locker runner-up Mariel Ettinger, Cal prep standout Kathleen Brizgys, and ’99s top two prep 800 runners, Lindsay Hyatt (2:06.74) and Katie Hotchkiss (2:08.22). Stanford’s “B” team, dominated the Sept 4 Reno Invite, while the “A” team (minus Glynn and Sullivan) beat BYU at altitude in Provo on Sept 18. The Cardinal is scheduled to face BYU, Arkansas, Wisconsin, and Washington at home on Oct 2, then run at the Oct 9 Long Beach Invite, the Oct 16 Pre-NCAA meet, and the Oct 30 Pac-10 meet. | ||||
| 2 | Arkansas (2) | SC | 290 | 3 |
| The Razorbacks, 6th at last fall’s NCAA champs, also return two top-10 individuals and hope to joing their male counterparts atop the victory stand in Bloomington. Amy Yoder (3rd, 7th ’97, 29th ’96) is the top returning individual from the ’98 NCAA meet, while Jessica Daily (nee Koch; 10th, 39th ’97, 114th ’96) garnered 10th place. Also returning from the ’98 NCAA squad are Tracy Robertson (59th, 61st ’97), Cory Chastain (157th, 158th ’97) and Laurie Sturgell (192nd). Two outstanding transfers will be key to Arkansas’ success this season: Larissa Kleinmann won last year’s Northeast Regional and while former Foot Locker finalist Amy Weisman (98th) comes from Nebraska. Arkansas easily won the Sept 11 Jayhawk Invite (finishing 1-6 over the field) and the Sept 25 Sam Bell Invite (finishing 1-4 over that field) and is slated to face BYU, Stanford, Wisconsin, and Washington at the Oct 2 Stanford Invite. The Hogs then race at home in the Oct 16 Chili Pepper Festival and at the Oct 30 SEC Champs. | ||||
| 3 | Arizona State | W | 274 | 16 |
| Arizona State dominated its cross state Arizona and Northern Arizona in Irvine (CA) on Sept 11 then shocked with a win over an under-strength BYU team at Griak. Last year, the Sun Devils made their first-ever appearance at the NCAA meet with a 23rd-place effort. With the loss of only one runner from last year’s NCAA squad, ASU looks poised for a trophy at the NCAA meet later this fall. Coach Walt Drenth returns Lisa Aguilera (131st), 9:25 3k runner Kelly MacDonald (134th), Kristin McFerron (158th), Cody Sohn (211th), Nicole Simmons (227th), Amy Maciasek (235th) from the NCAA squad, and regains the services of ’97 #1 runner Mary Duerbeck who missed the ’98 campaign due to injury. Aguilera is running quite well early, as are MacDonald and Duerbeck. Burke and Torres rounded out their top 5 at Griak. ASU runs Oct 2 at Canyon West, Oct 8 at their own invite, Oct 16 Pre-NCAAs, and Oct 30 at Pac-10s. | ||||
| 4 | Brigham Young | MT | 262 | 1 |
| Patrick Shane’s BYU squad won the 1997 NCAA team title and finished second last fall just behind Villanova and ahead of Stanford in the tightest three-way battle in NCAA history. However, so far in 1999 the Cougars have raced twice and lost twice. On Sept 18 Stanford narrowly upset BYU (sans Rohatinsky) in Provo as both teams finished well ahead of Georgetown, Williams & Mary, and Weber State. One week later at Griak, Coach Shane ran a squad that featured six different runners in his top seven (minus Shields, Heiner, and Jackson among others) and that squad fell to Arizona State. At full strength, BYU should be able to run with any team in the country. Leading the Cougars this fall will be Sharolyn Shields, who finished 13th individually at the ’98 NCAA meet. Also returning from the 1998 NCAA squad are Laura Heiner (31st), Elizabeth Jackson (36th, 32nd ’97, 25th ’96), Kara Ormond (57th), Tara Haynes (77th, 38th ’97), and Caisa Monahan (49th ’97). Joining this powerful lineup is NCAA 10k runner-up Tara Rohatinsky and NCAA 3k finalist Lindsey Jones. BYU races is scheduled to race at the Oct 2 Stanford Invite, Oct 16 Pre-NCAA meet, and the inaugural Oct 29 Mountain West Conference. | ||||
| 5 | Wisconsin | GL | 240 | 6 |
| Coach Peter Tegan’s squad–5th at the ’98 championships–will be led by NCAA Indoor 5k runnerup Erica Palmer (3rd in the Great Lakes Regional, with 16:03.94 and 34:03.60 credentials), who will be joined by 9:30.00 3k runner Bethany Brewster (62nd), 9:31 3k runner Erin AufderHeide (71st), and 4:19.94 1500 runner Stephanie Pesch (112th). The Badgers recorded a perfect score while winning the Sept 18 Illinois Invite. Wisconsin will face BYU, Stanford, Arkansas, Kansas State, and Washington in Palo Alto on Oct 2, followed by the Oct 9 Iowa State, the Oct 16 Oregon Classic, and the Oct 30 Big-10 meet. | ||||
| 6 | Colorado | MT | 234 | 5 |
| Seventh in ’98, the Buffs finished 3rd in ’97. CU returns Carrie Messner (66th, 30th ’97, 82nd ’95), Lindsay Arendt (119th), Leslie Higgins (122nd), Jennifer Fazioli (127th; 18th ’96 FL), and Briana Stott-Messick (248th, 80th ’97). while Foot Locker finalists Jenny Arnold (12th FL) and Jodie Hughes (27th ’96 FL) have elected to attend CU. Colorado won the Sept 11 Colorado State Invite and should race on Oct 2 in Boulder, Oct 16 Pre-NCAAs, and Oct 30 Big-12 Conference Champs. | ||||
| 7 | Georgetown | MA | 232 | 7 |
| Fourth last year in Lawrence, the Hoyas return individual 4th-place finisher Kristen Gordon (4th, 40th ’97). Joining Gordon from their ’98 squad are Autum Fogg (23rd, 42nd ’97; 117th ’96), Kathy Linck (88th),Lorena Adams (117th, 116th ’97), Lisa Roder (182nd), and Emily Enstice (170th). Stanford and BYU both finished well ahead of the Hoyas at the Sept 18 BYU Challenge. Georgetown races Oct 9 at the Paul Short Invite, Oct 16 at Pre-NCAAs, and Oct 29 at the Big East champs. | ||||
| 8 | Kansas State | MW | 200 | 12 |
| Kansas State capped off an excellent season last fall with a 13th place finish in Lawrence. K-State returns Korene Hinds (27th), Katerina Fotopoulo (83rd), Amanda Crouse (106th), Annie Wetterhus (113th), Julie Kronoshek (194th), and Kelly Andra (240th) and gained frosh Amy Mortimer, who has won both her meets so far this fall. Like Mortimer, K-State won both the Sept 4 Maple Leaf Invite and the Sept 18 Woody Greeno meet. The Wildcats will face Stanford, BYU, Arkansas, Wisconsin, and Washington at Stanford on Oct 2, then race Oct 16 Pre-NCAAs, before defending their Big-12 title on Oct 30. | ||||
| 9 | Villanova | MA | 199 | 4 |
| The defending champs graduated ’97 individual champ Carrie Tollefson and former NCAA 3000 titlest Kristine Jost (who chose to utilize her remaining year of eligibility at Florida). Sarah Vance Goodman (12th), Kristen Nicolini (17th), and Carmen Douma (21st, 6th ’97, 44th ’96) helped lead last year’s squad to victory, with Ann McGranahan (81st) also returning from that squad. Newcomer Liz Awtrey and Ireland’s Geraldine McCarthy are expected to score for the Wildcats. The Wildcats dominated the Sept 17 Haverford Invite and are slated to race at the Oct 1 LaSalle Invite, Oct 16 Pre-NCAA meet, and Oct 29 Big East Champs. | ||||
| 10 | Washington | W | 198 | 8 |
| The Huskies notched a 9th place finish at last year’s NCAA meet, lost only one runner to graduation, and benefit immensely from two important transfers. Returning for Washington are Anna Aoki (38th, 88th ’97), Jennifer Smith (82nd), Kara Syrdal (129th, 129th ’97), Ashley Foianini (198th), and Cami Matson, as well as Margaret Butler (98th ’97), who missed much of the ’98 campaign to injury. Joining the Dawgs are Boise State transfer Melinda Campbell (19th) and ’97 USA Jr XC champ Jen Schindler from American River CC. Washington easily dominated the Sept 11 Emerald City Invite, then recorded an impressive performance at their own sept 25 Sundodger Invite, running one of the fastest team times ever over the Lincoln Park course–and still dropped in the polls. On Oct 2 the Huskies will face BYU, Stanford, Arkansas, Kansas State, and Wisconsin in Palo Alto, before running in the Oct 17 Wolverine Interregional and the Oct 30 Pac-10 Champs. | ||||
| 11 | North Carolina State | SE | 195 | 9 |
| The Wolfpack finished 11th in ’97 and 19th in ’98. Lindsey Rodgers (41st) is their top returning NCAA finisher but World Junior XC team member Jennifer Modiszewski (224th) lead the pack most of the season. Joining this twosome are Katie Sabino (67th), are Erin Musson (130th, 55th ’97), Amy Beykirk (213th, 70th ’97). The Wolfpack opened with a win at the Sept 18 Winthrop Invite over Wake Forest before finishing a distant 2nd to Arkansas at the Sept 25 Sam Bell Invite. NC State is scheduled to run Oct 2 in Greensboro (NC), Oct 9 at Penn State, Oct 16 at the NC Champs, and on Nov 1 at the ACC Champs. | ||||
| 12 | Minnesota | MW | 167 | 23 |
| The Gophers return last year’s Midwest Regional champ Rasa Michniovaite. Gopher mentor Gary Wilson’s squad finished 26th at the ’98 NCAA meet. Juniors Elaine Eggleston (191st) and NCAA 10k qualifier Corinne Nimitz (152nd) have led the Gophers early this season as the team scored a surprising third at their own Griak Invite behind Arizona State and BYU but ahead of regional foes Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa State. Minnesota’s schedule includes the Oct 1 Eau Claire Invite, the Oct 9 Iowa State Memorial, the Oct 16 Pre-NCAAs, Oct 22 Minnesota Open, and the Oct 30 Big-10 Champs. | ||||
| 13 | Missouri | MW | 145 | 18 |

Missouri is led by Kim Moore (60th), Katie Meyer (92nd, 96th ’97), Anne Marie Brooks (94th), Justa Dahl (185th, 118th ’97), Sunny Gilbert (190th), Jessica Patton (221st), and Courtney Bell (232nd).

| 16 | Arizona | W | 113 | — |
| With the departure of Amy Skieresz, Coach Dave Murray has some big shoes to fill from last year’s team that finished 16th.
