The BYU women’s cross-country team moved up two spots to rank ninth in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s (USTFCCCA) most recent national coaches’ poll released on Tuesday. The BYU men's team retained its No. 2 national ranking.
The Cougars improved in the rankings after winning Notre Dame’s Joe Piane Invitational with a 37-point performance. All-American Erica Birk-Jarvis was the individual champion for the second meet in a row, while teammates Whittni Orton and Courtney Wayment finished in second and fifth, respectively.
The BYU women’s team last cracked the top 10 at the start of the 2017 season when USTFCCCA ranked the Cougars 10th in the nation after the first week of competition.
