NEW ORLEANS -- The University of Delaware men’s cross country squad moved up one spot to No. 13 and the Blue Hen women remained at No. 14 in the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Mid-Atlantic Region polls released Wednesday.

Both of head coach Jim Fischer’s squads will be off this weekend after competing at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships this past weekend. The teams will compete at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships next Saturday, Nov. 14, at Princess Anne, Md.
