We'll admit to being a little remiss in reporting on the national cross country rankings for Minnesota's small colleges and universities. Let's make up for that right now ...
The Minnesota State - Mankato men and the University of Minnesota -Duluth women both find themselves ranked #9 in the latest NCAA Division II cross country polls released yesterday.
Mankato, the defending Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference champions who finished 8th at the NCAA Championships last fall, remained in the spot it occupied in the pre-season poll released in late August.
Duluth, the runners-up in the NSIC in 2008 and also 8th in the D2 meet last year, dropped one spot from their pre-season position.
Perennial power Adams State leads both D2 polls.
