UW-W, which moved into 32nd place in the national ranking of NCAA Division III teams this week, did not enter all of its top runners, using the race as training coming off last week's Griak Invitational and looking forward to the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship at the end of the month. UW-W will host the WAIC meet October 31 on campus. Whitewater's next meet will be the Ripon Invitational October 10.
