NEW ORLEANS, La. (USTFCCCA) -- The SMU women's cross country team remains ranked fourth in the latest US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) South Central Region poll. The team comes off back-to-back first place finishes at the North Texas Ken Garland Invitational on Saturday and the UTA Gerald Richey Invite on Sept. 14.
