NEW ORLEANS - The Fort Hays State women's cross country team is ranked t-30th in the first regular season rankings of the 2024 USTFCCCA NCAA Division II National Coaches' Poll, announced Wednesday (Sept. 18) by the coaches association.
The Tigers are off to a strong start to the season, finishing as the top non-Division I team and fourth overall at the JK Gold Classic before winning the FHSU Tiger Open.
This is the first time the Tiger women have been ranked in the regular season since 2016 when FHSU was slotted 16th in week five. It is the fourth season FHSU has earned a national ranking since joining the NCAA.
Fort Hays State is one of eight schools from the Central Region ranked this week, including three other teams from the MIAA.
The Tigers will return to action next Friday (Sept. 27) when they travel to Columbia, Mo. for the Gans Creek Classic. Action in the women's six-kilometer race is slated to begin at 10:15 a.m.
