NEW ORLEANS – After a pair of top-15 finishes in its first two meets of the year, Oklahoma Baptist women's cross country has earned a spot in the USTFCCCA Regional Coaches Poll. The Bison are now ranked #10 in the Central Region, marking their highest regional ranking since also ranking 10th in the preseason, Week 1, and Week 6 polls of the 2021 season.
OBU started this year strong with a third-place finish at the Rogers State Distance After Dark (Sept. 3), and followed that up with a 13th-place finish in a loaded field at the Arkansas Chile Pepper Festival (Oct. 3). The Bison are one of just two Great American Conference teams to be ranked in the Central Region poll, joining sixth-place East Central.
Oklahoma Baptist is set to conclude its regular season at the Dallas Baptist University Old Glory Gallop on Saturday, Oct. 17. The GAC Championship is slated for Nov. 7 in Shawnee, with the NCAA Central Region Championship set for Nov. 21 in Sioux Falls, SD and the NCAA Championships taking place on Dec. 4 in Lawrence, KS.
