September 23, 2021
KANSAS CITY, MO – After both cross-country teams struggled in the first race of the year last week at Humboldt State, the NAIA coaches took notice as both teams slipped in the latest NAIA Top 25 Coaches' Poll announced poll today.
The Oregon Tech men fell from number 11 down to No.17 this week while the OIT women fell entirely out of the top 25 and are in the receiving votes category.
