WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Midwestern State remained 11th in the first regular season NCAA Division II Cross Country Rankings released Wednesday afternoon by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association.
 
The Mustangs took a fourth-place showing Saturday at the Missouri Southern Stampede trailing only a pair of Division I squads in Tulsa and Arkansas as well as Division II upstart Missouri Southern.
 
Junior Ashley Flores finished within 1.5 seconds of the program's 5K record covering the course in 18:09.78 to finish 12th just ahead of teammate Janel Campbell, who clocked an 18:10.05 for 13th.
 
Other countable finishers for the Mustangs included sophomore Michelle Krezonoski (18:24.36/21st), sophomore Kim Krezonoski (19:07.37/53rd) and junior Abigail Gonzalez (19:30.24/68th).
 
The Mustangs are one of five teams from a strong South Central Region to receive mention in the poll joining No. 2 Adams State (Colo.), No. 4 Western State (Colo.), No. 21 Colorado Mines and No. 30 Colorado-Colorado Springs.
 
Midwestern is idle this week before competing in the Kansas Invitational on Sat., Sep. 29 in Lawrence.
