LISLE, ILL (November 7, 2002) - The Manhattan College men's cross country team returns to the United States Cross Country Coaches Association Northeast Region Poll rankings this week at eighth place after being ranked ninth in the first week of the 2002 season.
Last week's second place finish at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships increased the team's exposure. With the help of seniors

Andres Cordero (Little Falls, NJ) and Tim Muratore
(Tenafly, NJ), sophomore
Daniel McGrath (Lynbrook, NY), and freshman
Tyler Raymond (Scotia, NY), the team totaled 57 points. Iona College, who leads the USCCCA poll this week, won the championship with 18 points.
The Northeast Region rankings are compiled by Barry Harwick and includes 37 Division I schools from Maine to New York.
Manhattan will return to action on Saturday, November 16th at 11:00 AM at the NCAA Northeast Regionals held at Van Cortlandt Park.
