USTFCCCA Week 4 Rankings

NEW ORLEANS - Following recent success at the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational, the NC State women's cross country team has moved into the third spot on USTFCCCA National Coaches' Poll after previously holding the fifth spot. This marks the highest the women's team has been ranked since 2006 when they were ranked second.

The team has had a strong start to their season, placing first at the adidas XC Challenge and second at the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational.

Up next, the Wolfpack will send a squad to the Wisconsin Invitational, a meet regarded as the closest regular-season simulation to the NCAA Championships during the regular season, as the remainder of the team competes locally at the Wake Forest Invitational.
