DENVER – The Utah Valley men’s cross country team are the lone Western Athletic Conference school that earned recognition after being ranked in the top 15 of the regional rankings by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
The Wolverines appear in the men’s Mountain Region rankings at No. 14 in the sixth weekly poll of the season.
The Wolverines claimed the men’s title at the WAC Cross Country Championship which took place last weekend in Seattle, Wash. on Saturday, Nov. 2. UVU will now run for a shot at Nationals in the Mountain Region Championships on Nov. 15 in Ogden, Utah, while other WAC schools will be in action at regionals spread around the country.
USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning team strength with current-season results in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.
