DI National Cross Country Coaches Poll — Week 2



NEW ORLEANS – On Tuesday, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its week two national cross country coaches’ poll for the 2011 NCAA Division I season. Oklahoma State's men and Georgetown's women still reign as the top teams in the land and there was no change to national top three in both men's and women's polls. The most notable move came for Oklahoma's men who are now No. 4 -- the best ranking ever achieved for a Sooner cross country team.
