PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Providence College men's cross country team is ranked 15th in the first regular season MONDO Division I Men's Cross Country National Poll, which was released on Tuesday, September 23. The Friars (239 points), who were ranked 16th in the preseason poll, climbed one spot to No. 15.

Stanford (479 points) received 15 first place votes to earn the top spot. Wisconsin (463 points), Northern Arizona (437 points), Arkansas (425 points), and Oregon (414 points) round out the top five.

The Friars, who have won their first two meets of the season, are one of three BIG EAST teams that are in the top 15. Villanova (311) is tied for 10th and Georgetown is 13th.
