NEW ORLEANS – Change was guaranteed to happen after an exciting weekend of racing!

Here is the Week 5 edition of the NCAA Division I Women’s Cross Country Regional Rankings, which was released by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association on Monday. Every region had some sort of change among their top-5 programs, with three regions having new No. 1s and a completely new look to the Northeast.

Great Lakes Region

There were two changes to the order of the top-5 teams in the Great Lakes Region.

While Michigan, Michigan State and Toledo remain No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5, respectively, Wisconsin leapfrogged Notre Dame for the No. 3 spot (the Fighting Irish are now No. 4). All five teams competed this past weekend: the Wolverines rolled to a win at the PSU National Open; the Badgers, Fighting Irish and Spartans finished 10th, 11th and 12th, respectively, at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational; the Rockets placed 11th in the Garnet section at the FSU Invite/Pre-Nats.

Mid-Atlantic Region

There were several changes to the order of the top-5 teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region.

West Virginia climbed two spots to become the new No. 1 in the region. The move by the Mountaineers bumped Villanova and Georgetown down one spot to No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. No. 4 Princeton and No. 5 Penn State held steady. The Mountaineers finished nine points ahead of the Wildcats at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational, led by individual champion Ceili McCabe. The Hoyas placed 10th at the FSU Invite/Pre-Nats.

There was one change to the order of the top-5 teams in the Midwest Region.

Mountain Region

There were several big changes to the order of the top-5 teams in the Mountain Region.

Syracuse soared four spots from No. 5 in Week 4 to No. 1 in Week 5. That dropped everyone else back one spot: No. 2 Providence, No. 3 Connecticut, No. 4 Harvard and No. 5 Columbia.

Arkansas stayed at No. 1 and followed by new No. 2 Abilene Christian after climbing two spots. Texas A&M also held its position at No. 3 as the Aggies are followed by No. 4 Texas and No. 5 Rice, who climbed back into the top-5.
