There were very few changes in the Week 3 Cross Country Rankings because most teams took the weekend off. They did so in an attempt to better prepare themselves for next Saturday’s Pre-Nationals at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, IN.

On the men’s side, there were literally no changes. Wisconsin remained #1 with Arkansas maintaining the subsequent rank.

There were a few changes for the women, although Stanford stayed at the top for a third straight week. The most notable changes was Iowa dropping from 8th to 11th.

Colorado (2) and Michigan (3) switched spots from last week’s rankings. Arkansas, North Carolina State, BYU, Princeton, UC Santa Barbara, Wisconsin and Providence filled the 4-7 spots.
