PLYMOUTH, N.H. – The Plymouth State University men's cross country team maintained its top-10 regional ranking as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its latest East Region rankings.
 
There was little movement in the poll once again, with seven of the ten positions remaining unchanged. Plymouth State held steady at eighth, while Little East Conference (LEC) rivals Keene State (ninth) and UMass Dartmouth (10th) also retained their spots.
 
Plymouth State was idle last weekend, but heads to Waterford, Conn., for the Connecticut College Invitational on Saturday (Oct. 18). The meet will feature top competition from across New England and serves as the final tune-up before the LEC Championship on Nov. 1.
 
The USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Coaches' 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 in determining a rank-order of squad potential. Only USTFCCCA member programs are eligible to receive a ranking.
