Mustangs selected eighth in GPAC preseason poll

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — The Morningside University men's cross country team has been picked eighth in the 2025 Great Plains Athletic Conference preseason coaches' poll, released Tuesday.

The Mustangs collected 42 points in the balloting. Dordt earned the top spot in the poll, followed by Doane in second.

Morningside also finished eighth at last year's GPAC Championship Meet, where two Mustang runners placed inside the Top 50. The team's season highlight came with a fifth-place finish at the Sunflower Opener, hosted by Dordt last September.

The Mustangs begin the 2025 campaign on Friday, Sept. 5, at the Augustana Twilight Meet in Sioux Falls.
