TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Indiana State Men's and Women's Cross Country teams both appear in the Great Lakes Regional Rankings for the sixth consecutive week, the USTFCCCA announced Monday.
 
The Sycamore men moved up one spot to the 10th position, swapping with Youngstown State while the ISU women held steady at 13th in the region.
 
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.
 
Indiana State will host the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Meet on November 9 at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course.
 
At the Pre-National Invitational the Sycamore men finished 28th overall in the White 8K Race with 741 points, overtaking Tennessee-Martin, Wichita State, Ohio State, Tulane, Clemson and Central Arkansas. The women placed 29th in the 6K White Race, defeating Central Michigan, Arkansas State, Idaho State, William & Mary, Lamar, Tennessee-Martin and USC.
