WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary men's cross country, fresh off dominating the CAA Championship for its fifth-straight conference crown, has been ranked 30th in this week's NCAA MONDO National Poll. The Tribe moved back into the rankings on the strength of a sweep of the top four positions at the CAA Championship, with junior Matt Keally (Virginia Beach, VA) racing to the individual title, and by witnessing eight of its harriers earn All-CAA honors at the meet. The team's performance, and subsequent ranking, sets the College up nicely for the NCAA Southeast Regional in two weeks where the Green and Gold will aim to qualify for its eighth-straight NCAA Championship. W&M next competes at Virginia's Cavalier Open on November 6 before gearing up for the NCAA Southeast Regional on November 13.
