On the men's side, the Villanova harriers remained in the 29th spot nationally after finishing 4th in the Big East meet. Big East rivals Notre Dame and Georgetown fell behind Villanova in the poll, but Minnestota and Providence entered the poll ahead of Villanova. The effect was that the Cats' ranking stayed the same. Anticipating the NCAA regional competition, the Mid-Atlantic regional rankings look like this:
1. Princeton #17
2. Penn State #26
3. Villanova #29
4. Georgetown NR
