XC Polls

[Nevada Hoya]

The men's national XC poll has been slow in coming. Today we have at least the regional polls. Georgetown is in the Middle Atlantic region. The top two from each region automatically proceed to the NCAA championship race. There are other at-large teams too, so if you don't finish in the top two at the Regional meet, you still have a chance based on your record in previous races. That being said, Georgetown is ranked #1 in the MA region. The poll:

Finally, the men's National poll. It was worth waiting for, since the Hoyas are ranked 7th. The top 25:

I should really check this board more often, thanks for keeping us up to date on all of this Nevada. If it wasn't for you no one would know what is going on with the team.

Great to see us at the top of the Mid-Atlantic Region and ranked 7th overall in the country.

In the 2nd poll of the season Georgetown remains in 7th place. The women have fallen to 26th; must be their worse showing in a national poll in XC in 15-20 years. I think the showing at the Paul Short meet was not indicative of their strength, because of missing a couple of top runners.

The men's poll is as follows:

The current poll has the Hoyas (men) still at 7th (but tied with Michigan). However, the women vanished from the polls, not even receiving votes - this must be a first.

The women are back in the top 25 in the country in the latest XC polls. With a 4th place finish (behind #2 Prov, #6 ND, and #14 Villa) and beating #28 WV, the Hoyas came back into the poll at #24.
