NORMAN, Okla. – The University of Oklahoma men's cross country team maintained a spot in the top five in the latest national rankings provided Tuesday by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
The No. 5 Sooners round out the top five just behind No. 4 Stanford, No. 3 BYU, No. 2 Wisconsin and top-ranked Oklahoma State. The Sooners remain No. 2 in the Midwest regional poll. The Oklahoma women moved up two spots from No. 12 to No. 10 in the women's midwest regional poll.
Both teams competed in the Chile Pepper Festival in Fayetteville, Ark. on Saturday, Oct. 15. The men's team placed third behind OSU and No. 15 Arkansas, while the women placed ninth.
Both teams return to action on Oct. 29 in College Station, Texas for the Big 12 Championship, where the men look to finish in the top three for a third straight year.
