Washington and Villanova remain first and second, while Colorado jumped from 19th to third, while Florida and Florida State moved up as well.
Princeton maintains its No. 3 ranking in the Mid-Atlantic regional poll behind Villanova and Georgetown.
The Princeton men's cross country team also remains third in the region after taking second at the Princeton Invitational behind Texas.
The teams will train this weekend in preparation for the Ivy League Heptagonal on Friday, Oct. 30 at Van Cortlandt Park.
