Western Washington men's squad remains at #10 in latest USTFCCCA national poll...


NEW ORLEANS--There was little change in the top three spots in the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) national Division II rankings released Wednesday, as Adams State’s men’s team and Augustana (S.D.)’s women’s team are still the top-ranked teams in NCAA Division II cross country.

Adams State, No. 2 Colorado Mines, and No. 3 Chico State – were unchanged from the previous men's ranking.

In the women’s top 35, the top eight teams led by No. 1 Augustana (S.D.), No. 2 Adams State, and No. 3 Grand Valley State retained their positions from a week ago.
