[Joan Lawrence]

For the first time since the 2005 season, the Texas A&M University-Commerce
men's cross country team is ranked in the latest United States Track and
Field/Cross Country Coaches Association Regional Poll. The Lions emerged
into this week's poll at No. 10 after recently defeating three NCAA South
Regional ranked teams -- No. 3 Alabama-Huntsville (they were 13th), No. 5
Columbus State (they were 22nd), No. 9 Christian Brothers (they were 18th)
in the NCAA South Regional Rankings and previously ranked No. 10 Northwest
Missouri State (they were 16th) at the Brooks Memphis Twilight. 

The only Division II schools that they lost to were Harding, who is No. 1 in
the latest NCAA South Regional Rankings and Missouri Rolla, who is fourth in
the latest Great Lakes rankings. Next, the Lions will host the Lone Star
Conference Championships at Eddie Moore Park in Commerce on Saturday, Oct.
20.
