Paul Short Run 2009

The Indiana men's cross country team hadn't received a single vote in the first two weeks of the USTFCCCA coaches poll, but that all changed when the Hoosiers defeated two ranked teams at the Paul Short Run on Oct. 2. The Hoosiers are ranked 17th in the USTFCCCA national rankings that were released today. The announcement comes on the heels of two Hoosiers being honored as Big Ten Runners of the Week. The Hoosier women received votes in the poll for the third consecutive week.
