Seattle Pacific maintains number 7 national ranking in latest USTFCCCA D2 coaches' poll..

NEW ORLEANS—Seattle Pacific’s fourth place finish in last Saturday’s Western Washington Classic did not hurt the Falcons in the latest USTFCCCA Division II women’s cross country coaches’ poll released Wednesday.

Despite running without All-American Kaylee Mitchell (left/photo by Paul Merca), Seattle Pacific remains the country’s number 7 team, and the highest ranking squad in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

The nation’s top five women’s teams are in order: Adams State, Grand Valley State, Colorado School of Mines, Augustana (SD), and Chico State, which won last Saturday’s Western Washington Classic.

From the GNAC, Seattle Pacific is the top ranked team at number 7.

Western Washington, which finished second at its Classic, jumped four spots to number 14, while Alaska Anchorage dropped one spot to number 16 to round out the nationally ranked teams from the conference.

No teams from the GNAC are ranked in the national top 25 in the latest men’s cross country coaches’ poll.

The nation’s top five teams are in order: Colorado School of Mines, Adams State, Chico State, Grand Valley State, and Western Colorado.

The USTFCCCA poll is available here.
