WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's women's cross country team continued to earn significant respect from the NAIA in the latest edition of the Top 25 Coaches' Poll.

The Lancers shifted up one spot to No. 9 in the rankings.

Grace produced an impressive team time of 1:32:52 at the Great Lakes Challenge over the weekend, marking the second-fastest team time in team history. Despite missing a handful of its top runners, Grace still finished faster than seven Top-25 teams in the high-profile race.

The Lancers have their eyes set on the postseason, beginning with the Crossroads League Championships on Nov. 7 in Marion, Ind.
