NEW ORLEANS – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released week three regional rankings for the NCAA Division I 2011 season on Monday. For the second-straight week, no new number ones were named.

New to their respective region’s top 15 this week are the following:

MEN – Loyola Marymount (West).

WOMEN – Oklahoma (Midwest), Air Force (Mountain), East Carolina (Southeast)

The national week three coaches’ poll will be released on Tuesday.

USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning team strength with current-season results in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.
