PELLA—The Central College women's cross country team climbed back up two spots in this week's United States Track and Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association Division III poll released Wednesday

The Dutch women finished fourth in the white race at the Bradley "Pink" Classic last Saturday in a field with some Division I and II teams in action. They climbed to No. 27 in the national poll while also staying at No. 4 in the Midwest Region poll.
           
Central flipped with Simpson College in the men's Midwest Region poll and is now No. 6.

Both teams are headed to Dubuque for the American Rivers Conference Championships on November 1.
