Cross Country Polls & Rankings
Nothing changed amongst the top-5 teams (or top-10 teams, for that matter): Indiana Wesleyan still tops the National Coaches’ Poll with 18 first-place votes; The Master’s (Calif.) holds down the No. 2 spot with two first-place votes; Milligan (Tenn.) is No. 3 with the lone remaining first-place vote; Saint Mary (Kan.) is ranked fourth; Eastern Oregon is No. 5.
Look for big changes in Week 4, though, since that’s when top teams face each other across the nation, notably at the NAIA Great Lakes Challenge hosted by Aquinas (Mich.) as well as the NAIA Mid-States Classic hosted by Southwestern (Kan.). It’s the biggest weekend of the regular season.
Mark your calendars for Friday, November 17, because that’s when the 2023 NAIA Cross Country Championships will be held at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site in Vancouver, Washington.
