Joplin, Mo. -- Fresh off their second straight sweep of the
MIAA Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships, the Missouri
Southern cross country teams continue to rank high in both the
national and regional polls this week.
As both teams prepare to host the
NCAA Division II South Central Regional Meet on November 3, the
women continue to hold steadfast to the number one ranking in
the region, as well as being ranked ninth nationally.
The men, after their seventh MIAA
team title in eight years, move back up to second in the
regional poll and jumped to 16th nationally this past week.
The South Central Regional will
pit teams from schools in the MIAA, the Lone Star Conference and
the Heartland Conference. Currently on the men's side, the
number one team in the Division II, Abilene Christian, is the
number one team in the region. The Lions are the only other
men's team from the region ranked in the top 25 nationally.
The Southern women join Pittsburg
State (18th), Abilene Christian (24th) and Southwest Baptist
(25th) as teams from the region ranked in the top 25 nationally.
