Despite not racing last weekend, the Lewis-Clark State College men’s cross country team improved one spot to No. 10 in the NAIA Cross Country Top 25 Coaches’ Poll released Wednesday. The LC women dropped to No. 23.
The Warrior men’s team, which increased seven places in last week’s poll, continue to impress with its resume of two fourth-place finishes and one second-place finish this season. LC received 469 points, which is 58 more than it received last week.
The LC women’s team, which has earned two fourth-place finishes and one seventh-place finish this season, fell four spots in the poll. The Warriors were passed by Frontier Conference rival Carroll College which improved to No. 18.
