The U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Association released its preseason NCAA Division I national coaches poll for the top 25 women's programs in America for cross country. 

No surprise, North Carolina State, the reigning NCAA champions, are out in front. 

Looking to capture their third straight win, the Wolfpack feature a dangerous group headlined by national champion Katelyn Tuohy, All-Americans like Kelsey Chmiel and Samantha Bush and pivotal transfers like Amaris Tyynismaa (Alabama) and Abby Loveys (Princeton). 

Northern Arizona, which finished the year sixth at NCAAs, begins at No. 2 while Oklahoma State is No. 3, Notre Dame is four and Colorado, which welcomed a few key additions, begins the year at No. 5.
