KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Milligan (Tenn.) remains at No. 1 in the latest NAIA Women's Cross Country Coaches' Top 25 Rating with 14 of 20 No. 1 votes. Taylor (Ind.) and Saint Mary (Kan.) also received first-place votes. No team moved more than two spots in this rating, while Goshen (Ind.) and Oklahoma City joined the Top 25 tied at No. 23. 

Rating Methodology:

• The rating is rated by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and unaffiliated groupings.
• The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater rates the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 for third-place and so on through the list.
• The highest and lowest ratings for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) are removed. The team’s rating will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the team appears on.
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”.
