CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Cedarville continues to hang on to a coveted seat in the latest NAIA men's cross country rating at #25 in the nation.

The Yellow Jackets registered a solid showing at the DePauw/Rose-Hulman Invitational in their latest performance by placing 4th of 23 teams. However, they still slipped one position in the poll from a week ago.

Two-time defending national champion and American Mideast Conference power Malone is still #1. The rest of the top five features Southern Oregon, Embry-Riddle (Fla.), Concordia (Neb.), and British Columbia. AMC member Shawnee State is #6.

Cedarville returns to action on Oct. 24 at the Aquinas (Mich.) Invitational.
