Men and Women Both Fill the #8 Spot in Current National Poll
Lady T-Birds Drop 4 Spots to #8 in Week 2 Poll
After Races at Texas Tech and the home meet the Lady T-Birds dropped in the polls. "I don't think we ran poorly at the meets" commented Coach Jeff Becker. "Other teams across the country just ran faster times." The difference in times could be from the differences in courses as well as the weather. "It is not surprising to move up and down in the rankings" added Becker. "We have a strong team that will place really well at nationals."
