Regional Rankings

HAVERFORD, Pa. - The Haverford College women's cross country team is ranked No. 28 in the Division III National Coaches Poll, the organization announced in a release earlier this week. The Fords check in at No. 1 in the Metro Region. 

Centennial Conference Runner of the Week Izzy Miller took home the individual title in the Rowan Border Battle on the course at Gloucester County DREAM Park last Saturday afternoon, pacing the field of 275 with a time of 21:33.8. The performance helped lead the then-32nd-ranked Fords to a fourth place finish in the team standings, ahead of conference foes No. 7 Dickinson and Swarthmore.

Dickinson fell three spots to No. 10 while Johns Hopkins remains the top-ranked team in the nation. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, Pomona-Pitzer, Wartburg, and Washington-St. Louis rounds out the national top 5. 

Haverford and Swarthmore remained No. 1 and No. 2, respectively in the Metro Region, but the Fords and Garnet are now followed by No. 3 Moravian, No. 4 Stockton and No. 5 TCNJ. Three of those top-5 programs competed at the Rowan Border Battle this past weekend: the Fords finished fourth; the Garnet also found a spot in the top 10 at tenth; the Greyhounds were just 10 points behind Swarthmore in 11th place. Ursinus, Widener, Muhlenberg, DeSales, and Stevens make up the rest of the top 10 teams in the Metro. 

The Fords will return to action on Friday with a contingent racing on the home course at the Haverford Invitational. Action in the women's race is slated to begin at approximately 4:15 p.m.
