With Tufts yet to compete in any races this season, the men start out the 2013 campaign ranked 11th nationally, by a poll of coaches across the country:

The Jumbos are also ranked 4th in the New England region, where they have placed 5th in each of the two previous seasons:

While these rankings will be rendered meaningless when the men face their first intercollegiate competition at Southern Maine on September 21st, for now the rest of the DIII NCAA has them on their radar. Time to prove it on the race course.
