BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo’s men’s cross country team received a number 15 ranking in the Northeast Region as the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association released its preseason poll late Monday.
The Bulls earned the ranking following last season's finish at the 2008 NCAA Northeast Regional Championships as UB placed 18th among 33 schools. In 2009, the Bulls have tied for fourth at the Tommy Evans Invitational and placed fifth at the Penn State Spiked Shoe Invitational.
This is the first week of polling for the 2009 season. The next poll will be released on September 28 and continue every Monday through the end of the season.
The UB women spent three weeks in the 2008 regional poll reaching a high of number 12.
The Bulls host the UB Stampede Invitational at Beaver Island State Park in Grand Island on Saturday, September 19 in their next action. The men's 8K race will begin at noon with the women's 5K race to follow at 12:45 pm.
