Minnesota holds the top spot in the poll, while Penn State (No. 2), Iowa (No. 4), Ohio State (No. 5), Illinois (No. 6) and Nebraska (No. 9) also earned top-10 honors. Michigan (No. 13) and Northwestern (No. 14) round out the group of Big Ten ranked teams.
Indiana hosts Manchester and Michigan welcomes Olivet on Thursday in the season’s first dual-meet action.
