Despite a successful weekend claiming its 47th-straight College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) title, the North Central College men's cross country team saw only minor changes in the national rankings, moving up one spot to ninth while remaining at the No. 2 rank in the Midwest region according to the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) polls. The USTFCCCA announced its regional rankings on Tuesday and its national rankings on Wednesday.
