TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- With just over one week to go before the 2017 John McNichols Invitational at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in eastern Vigo County, both the Indiana State men's and women's cross country teams were ranked in the USTFCCA Preseason Regional Rankings as announced this week by the coaches association.
In the extremely tough Great Lakes Region, the Sycamore men are ranked No. 12 while the women are ranked No. 14. The USTFCCA Regional Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning teams' strength with current season results (if applicable) in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.
