The NC State men's cross country squad moved up one spot this week to fifth in the MONDO Men's Cross Country Poll. The men are coming off a stellar performance at the District III Championships where the Wolfpack posted an eye-popping 30 points, just one off their score of 29 points at the ACC Championships. NC State opted to sit sophomore David Christian at the district meet in preparation for the nationals.
The Wolfpack women are currently fourth in the FinishLynx Women's Cross Country Poll. The women, minus senior All-American Christy Nichols, also took first in the regional meet this weekend. The Wolfpack posted a score of 45 points, four better than arch-rival North Carolina.
The NCAA Championships will also be held in Greenville, S.C. on the campus of Furman University. The men's race will begin at 11:00 a.m., while the women will start at 12:15.
