NORMAN, Okla. - The University of Oklahoma men's cross country team once again maintained its 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 Colorado, No. 3 BYU, No. 2 Oklahoma State and top-ranked Wisconsin. The Sooners remain No. 2 in the Midwest regional poll, while the Oklahoma women maintained its spot among the top 12 of the women's Midwest regional poll.
