MOSCOW, Idaho - On Monday morning, the Big Sky Conference announced the annual preseason polls for the 2025 fall semester.
Voted on by the league's head coaches, Idaho men's Cross-Country was picked to finish sixth in the polls, just one point behind projected fifth-place Eastern Washington. The women's team tied with the Eagles in this regard, predicted to tie for fifth place. Both the Vandal men and women finished ahead of some combination of Montana, Sacramento State, Portland State, and Northern Colorado in their respective polls.
Last year, UI was projected to finish fourth in both preseason polls before the 2024 season commenced.
