The preseason polls are out and Stanford's men and women each are ranked among the top five in the USTFCCCA cross country rankings.

Last year, the Cardinal men were second at the NCAA Championships and the women were fifth. The teams fill those same spots in the rankings.

The Stanford men received three first-place votes, but the top three teams at NCAA's hold the same spots with Northern Arizona at No. 1 and Syracuse at No. 3.

The Stanford men return five from its NCAA lineup, losing Sean McGorty and Garrett Sweatt. However, the Cardinal returns Grant Fisher, the reigning NCAA outdoor 5,000-meter champ and a fifth-place NCAA cross country placer last year as a sophomore.

Sam Wharton is the only other cross country All-America off last year's podium squad, though Jack Keelan earned indoor track All-America honors last year.
