MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University cross country team remains at No. 29 in the 2022 Week Seven Women's Cross Country National Coaches' Poll, as announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCA) this week.
WVU holds steady at 29th for the second consecutive week, and Tuesday's rankings mark the third consecutive week West Virginia has appeared in the national poll. The Mountaineers are looking to continue their good form, as they finished second at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship on Nov. 11.
"The great thing about rankings is they are simply a way to predict the expected finish of this week's national finals," coach Sean Cleary said. "I do know that our team will not be looking to finish 29th next Saturday."
NC State garnered 10 of 11 first-place votes to remain on top of the nation. The Wolfpack is followed by New Mexico in second. Big 12 conference foe Oklahoma State took the other first place vote and sits third, while Notre Dame moves up to No. 4 and Alabama jumps to fifth.
In 2021, West Virginia spent two weeks in the rankings before finishing at No. 21. The Mountaineers have made at least one appearance in the national rankings in 16 of the last 18 seasons.
NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship winners Georgetown come in at No. 13.
