The Lewis-Clark State College women’s cross country team was ranked No. 8 and the men’s team No. 15 in the postseason NAIA top 25 polls, the national office announced Wednesday.
The rankings match the positions that the Warrior squads claimed at the national championships last week in Vancouver, Wash. The eighth-place finish was a program record for the LCSC women.
Before the national meets, the Warrior women were ranked No. 12 and the LCSC men were No. 19.
The polls were voted on by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences/independents/unaffiliated groups.
