New rating system debuts following Pre-Nationals

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- The Wake Forest men's cross country team was ranked No. 35 in the initial USTFCCCA Cross Country Rating Index (CCRI), released this week.
The new system, which debuted this season after the Pre-National Invitational, is a method that takes some of the basic concepts of the RPI model — head-to-head performance and strength of schedule — and added elements relevant to cross country — margin of victory, individual performance, and potential head-to-head matchups based on existing results.
In addition to the Demon Deacon men at No. 35, the Demon Deacon women are No. 45 in the CCRI.
The next ranking will come on Nov. 1, following the conference championship meets. The Demon Deacons will be in action Friday at the ACC Championship in Boston, Mass.
