ONU MOVES UP FOUR SPOTS IN NAIA COACHES’ TOP 25 POLL

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Olivet Nazarene University men's cross country team moved up four spots to No. 18 in the second edition of the NAIA Men's Cross Country Coaches' Top 25 Poll, announced by the national office Thursday morning.

The Tigers outperformed multiple teams ranked above them in their lone meet since the last poll was released on Sept. 21. Taylor Vallangeon, last year's CCAC champion, led ONU to a 13th-place team finish in Live at the Lou "blue" race with an individual time of 25:27.4, his best of the season.

The ONU men will continue their strong season at the Bethel Invitational tomorrow at St. Patrick's Couty Park in South Bend, Ind. The race is set to begin at 2:30 p.m. CST.
