BYU Men and Colorado Women are Your New NCAA #1s in LetsRun.com Cross Country Fan Polls

By LetsRun.com
November 10, 2017

The fans have spoken and the BYU men and Colorado women are your new #1 teams in the 2017 LetsRun.com NCAA Cross Country Super Fan Polls.

On the men’s side, BYU after a perfect 1-2-3-4-5 finish at the West Coast Conference meet that included #6 Portland, is your new number one, by the slimmest of margins. BYU and defending national champion Northern Arizona both got 28 first place votes, but BYU had 6 total more points in the poll to take the top spot. Syracuse picked up a few first place votes as well and is a strong #3.
