Though the Minnesota men’s cross country team has not competed since the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept. 24, they managed to move up to No. 17 in the most recent USTFCCCA cross country poll.

The Gophers will sit idle again this weekend and will compete in Wisconsin Adidas Invitational in Madison, Wis. on Oct. 14.

Minnesota was ranked No. 20 in the USTFCCCA poll prior to this week’s rankings.
