From USTFFCCCA
http://www.ustfccca.org/2012/10/featured/haverford-breaks-the-streak-in-diii-as-new-nationally-top-ranked-team
The streak has been broken. For the 24 previous voting weeks, the men's team at North Central (Ill.) has been ranked No. 1 by the nation's coaches in NCAA Division III cross country. Now, the top-ranked spot goes to the Haverford Fords according to the latest poll of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Calvin's men slides up from No. 6 to No. 2 while North Central slips to No. 3 - their lowest spot on the poll since 2008.
Haverford spoiled North Central's long-running No. 1 ranking in 2010 as they captured the NCAA title from the Cardinals. North Central came back to win the national crown last season.
In the women's poll, MIT retains their top spot. In fact, the top five teams - No. 2 Johns Hopkins, No. 3 Williams, No. 4 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, and No. 5 Middlebury - held their ground from last week's poll.
