Cross Country Polls & Rankings
Mineral Area (Mo.) is No. 1 for the third-straight poll, but the Cardinals remain so with a new top runner as Alyson Skiles led MAC to sweep the top-6 places at the non-scored Principia North Farm Twilight.
Jefferson (Mo.) continues at No. 2 for the third-straight time. The Vikings were the leading JUCO program at the Brian T. Simpson Invitational with Reagan Edwards leading the way for the first time.
