50. Paityn Noe, Freshman, Arkansas (Unranked)

The first new entrant to our individual rankings is none other than freshman standout, Paityn Noe. The Arkansas rookie opened up her collegiate account with a 2nd place finish behind teammate Sydney Thorvaldson at the Cowboy Preview. That was a clear rust-busting effort, but it was also a sign that Noe was acclimating well to the collegiate realm.

However, it was at the Chile Pepper XC Festival that Noe truly made a statement. Not only did she win the 5k race in a promising time of 16:09, but she won it by a whopping 35 seconds over Thorvaldson.

That was a fabulous display of front-running, but now we are left with the question, “How will this rising Razorback youngster fare as the competition becomes more challenging?”

That question will likely be answered in two weeks' time when the Arkansas women venture to Pre-Nationals. On that stage, Noe's relative inexperience will be tested against her youth-based upside.

49. Annastasia Peters, Freshman, Utah (Unranked)

Out of all of the freshmen in the NCAA this year, Annastasia Peters was not one of the women who we had on our radar. The Idaho native was plenty competitive at the high school level, but a 3rd place finish at the Griak Invitational was exceptional!

The Utah women may have a true low-stick replacement in Peters if she continues to run like she did in Minnesota. Despite her inexperience, she took down top long distance talents such as Sarah Carter and Laura Pellicoro. And once she becomes more refined, there's no telling how far this Utah rookie could climb in our rankings.

48. Gladys Chepngetich, Freshman, Clemson (Unranked)

Clemson’s Gladys Chepngetich has been flying under the radar this fall. Of the three races that the freshman ace has contested, she has won two of them and finished 2nd place in her other effort.

Not bad for a rookie.

The Tiger standout earned a massive win at the Live in Lou XC Classic this past weekend, crossing the line 15 seconds ahead of the field. With that statement performance, Chepngetich is proving that she has All-American-caliber talent. However, to solidify that theory, we need to see what the Clemson freshman can do when she races some of the bigger names at the Alabama Crimson Classic and the ACC XC Championships.

47. Samree Dishon, Junior, Colorado (-20 / 27)

There's no other way to say it, Samree Dishon struggled mightily at the Virginia Invitational. A 159th place finish was not the expectation for someone who had a fantastic regular season and was an All-American last fall.

One poor performance in September shouldn't send this Buffalo standout completely out of our rankings. Of course, we're hoping to see a significant rebound performance at the Nuttycombe Invitational in a week and a half.

46. Samantha Bush, Senior, NC State (-30 / 16)

All-American ace Samantha Bush slips back in our rankings after a very underwhelming performance at the Joe Piane Invitational. The NC State senior dropped back to 30th place, crossing the line as the Wolfpack's seventh runner.

While that result certainly isn't encouraging, it has to be noted that this was Bush’s first competition since April. Bush has proven time and time again that she is one of the best runners in the nation and for that reason, we won't be dismissing her just yet.

That said, we'll need a pretty strong rebound race from her the next time she toes the line.

45. Brianna Weidler, Senior, UC Davis (Unranked)

When we were discussing who would be ranked in our top-50 during the preseason, we went back and forth on Brianna Weidler. The UC Davis senior placed 51st at the 2022 NCAA XC Championships and would later go on to run a 15:48 (5k), performances that certainly put her in the conversation for early-season recognition. However, we needed one more strong performance to help make the case for Weidler.

And luckily, we got just that this past weekend.

After impressing TSR at the Bill Dellinger Invitational, finishing 2nd overall in a field full of top BYU and Oregon women, the west coast veteran shined in South Bend, Indiana. With confidence running high for the Aggie ace, Weidler turned some heads with her 7th place showing at the Joe Piane Invite, taking down quite a few nationally ranked athletes in our rankings.

Things are looking up for the UC Davis star right now. She's experienced, she's proven and more importantly, she has momentum.

44. Kelsey Harrington, Junior, North Carolina (-12 / 32)

A 63rd place finish at the Virginia Invitational just wasn't what we needed to see out of Kelsey Harrington. The All-American standout is clearly better than that, although her latest performance paired with her racing absence since December isn't super encouraging.

43. Bethany Graham, Junior, Furman (-18 / 25)

An 11th place finish at the Loyola Lakefront Invitational isn't totally ideal for a two-time All-American who was originally ranked in our top-30. Even so, the greatest value that Graham holds is her ability to peak in the postseason. We'll definitely need to see a better performance from the Paladin star at her next major meet, but for now, we're not stressing too much about one race of hers.

42. Savannah Roark, Junior, Syracuse (-19 / 23)

A 41st place finish at the Virginia Invitational isn't necessarily a poor performance, but it's also fair to say that we were expecting a bit more from Savannah Roark.

Even so, we're not going to stress about this Syracuse standout. She was quietly-great throughout the entirety of last fall, emerged as an All-American back in November and remained as a competitive name over 10,000 meters during the spring. She'll still be a great name for the Orange over the next two months.

41. Judy Kosgei, Freshman, South Carolina (Unranked)

Welcome to our top-50, Judy Kosgei!

The South Carolina newcomer has quickly made a name for herself after winning all three of her races this season. The most notable victory that this Gamecock rookie produced came at the Paul Short Invite where she took home a five-second victory in some difficult conditions.

While she hasn't necessarily faced the stiffest of competition just yet, Kosgei is seemingly someone with a high ceiling as well as someone who is a threat for an All-American spot later this fall. Of course, we don't know exactly how good she is until she faces more heavy-hitting competition.

40. Laura Pellicoro, Junior, Portland (-14 / 26)

A 7th place finish at the Griak Invitational wasn't what we expected from Laura Pellicoro, someone who we thought would battle for a top-three spot (or the overall win).

No, an early-season result like that is far from horrendous, but being nine seconds back of 6th place and nearly 35 seconds back from the winner makes it hard to keep Pellicoro as high as she initially was in our rankings.

39. Maggie Donahue, Senior, Georgetown (-6 / 33)

Maggie Donahue has yet to compete this cross country season.

38. Katie Osika, Senior, Michigan State (0 / 38)

A 12th place result at the Virginia Invitational is pretty much on par with what we expected to see out of Katie Osika. The same could be said for her overall win on her home course at the MSU Spartan Invitational.

As we dive deeper into the 2023 cross country season, this Michigan State low-stick looks just as reliable as she was last year. She may not have the crazy-high ceiling that some of these NCAA newcomers have, but the consistency that Osika boasts is arguably just as valuable, especially for a team like Michigan State that needs her scoring potency.

37. Izzy Thornton-Bott, Senior, Oregon (-3 / 34)

It's been a fairly modest start to the season for Oregon’s Izzy Thornton-Bott. The middle distance specialist opened up her season with a 9th place finish at the Bill Dellinger Invite. And while that wasn't necessarily a poor result, or a race that we put much emphasis on, it was not the most impressive performance that we have ever seen from the Aussie star.

That being said, Thorton-Bott had a near-identical performance (11th) at the very same meet last year. We expect her to continue to progress as the season unfolds.

36. Ella Baran, Senior, Colorado (-7 / 29)

Ella Baran has yet to compete this cross country season.

35. Nicola Jansen, Junior, New Mexico (Unranked)

While competing at Bradley, Nicola Jansen came oh-so-close to qualifying for the 2022 NCAA XC Championships. Now, racing as a New Mexico Lobo, Jansen appears to be on a revenge tour, looking to claim a spot on the line at the “Big Dance.”

In her season debut, the junior finished a stellar 2nd at the Griak Invitational, only three seconds behind winner Greta Karinauskaite (California Baptist). That was a monster breakout performance that certainly left us a little surprised, although there was no denying that this New Mexico newcomer held great talent going into this season.

Jansen is just starting to come into her own and with the Nuttycombe Invite up next, we will see where this rising low-stick ace sits among the best of the best.

34. Annika Reiss, Senior, Northern Arizona (+15 / 49)

Consistency was something that limited Annika Reiss’ spot in our rankings last fall. We certainly saw flashes of brilliance from her, specifically at the Cowboy Jamboree, but she wasn't always able to deliver that magic at each and every meet.

However, at the Virginia Invitational, the Northern Arizona veteran put together a very strong race, crossing the line in 8th place which may have been her best cross country effort to date. That is the scoring excellence that Reiss is able to offer and if she is able to produce that kind of result consistently this fall, then she is absolutely someone who can crack our top-30.

33. Siona Chisholm, Junior, Notre Dame (+15 / 48)

Making a leap forward this week following a solid 5th place finish at the Joe Piane Invitational is junior Siona Chisholm. Notre Dame’s top runner last weekend saw an improvement of 81 places from her 2022 performance at the same meet, setting her on a path to success for later this fall.

Of course, we were fairly confident that this Fighting Irish ace was due for a big season. Chisholm ran 15:37 for 5000 meters this past spring and was the team's 7th place finish at the ACC XC Championships last fall. With some refinement, this Notre Dame runner was going to be a problem for her competitors in October and November.

Chisholm is more than capable of finishing amongst the top-40 at the cross country national meet come November, but will need to consistently place amongst the leaders to continue making a name for herself in the NCAA. But after her Joe Piane effort, we don't have too many doubts about her ability to do so.

32. Leah Stephens, Freshman, NC State (Unranked)

NC State true freshman Leah Stephens is looking far stronger than we anticipated. And for that reason, she is being introduced into our top-50.

The Wolfpack newcomer kicked-off her collegiate career with a monstrous 4th place finish at the Joe Piane Invitational! There, she took down a multitude of All-American stars, including ​​Olivia Markezich and Hildia Olemomoi (the latter of whom was ill).

Stephens' talent was undeniably elite at the high school level, but I don't think anyone was expecting her to adapt so quickly to collegiate racing. If she can continue to progress this season, then she will likely find herself as an integral part of NC State's title defense.

31. Lexy Halladay-Lowry, Senior, BYU (0 / 31)

A 4th place finish at the Bill Dellinger Invite was a very respectable result for Lexy Halladay-Lowry. However, we're not putting much emphasis on that race given the conservative racing nature of some of the teams and individuals in the field. Nonetheless, this BYU veteran looks fairly sharp and should remain plenty competitive going forward.

30. Billah Jepkirui, Junior, Oklahoma State (+7 / 37)

There really isn’t too much to say about Billah Jepkirui’s season thus far. The Oklahoma State standout has raced once this fall, easily winning the Cowboy Jamboree two weekends ago. The junior ran 20:28 over 6000 meters to secure the win over her fellow teammates and was only 13 seconds off of her best time on her home course.

Not bad for a rust-buster.

Jepkirui’s in a good spot heading into October and has the talent to contend for an All-American finish after faltering on the national stage as a rookie in 2022.

29. Emily Covert, Rs. Junior, Colorado (+17 / 46)

It's hard not to be happy for Emily Covert.

The Colorado standout entered the 2022 cross country season with high expectations being placed on her shoulders by us, The Stride Report. However, a few setbacks in her to build up to last fall made it difficult for Covert to establish consistency last fall. And in an effort to hit the refresh button, Covert ultimately redshirted the indoor and outdoor track seasons.

We weren't sure what we were going to see from Covert this fall given her injury history and extended absence. However, after a 5th place finish at the Virginia Invitational, it seems like this Colorado veteran is building back to her top-tier All-American form. And for that reason, we gave her a major boost in our top-50 rankings.

28. Phoebe Anderson, Junior, Columbia (Unranked)

I don't think many people had Phoebe Anderson placing 4th in their predictions for the Virginia Invitational, but that's exactly what happened.

It was no secret that Anderson was a strong and talented name going into these fall months. We knew that she could be a legitimate low-stick for Columbia in October and November, especially after seeing her run 15:44 for 5000 meters during the spring months, but we certainly didn't expect her to be this good.

Taking down women such as Covert, Bunnage, Maatoug, Reiss, Larkin, May, Engel and Osika is not something that just happens as a fluke. Instead, it should be viewed as a legitimate statement to the rest of the country.

We would still like Anderson to validate that effort throughout the rest of the fall months, but it's hard not to like this rising Columbia ace who has been gaining scary-good momentum since the earliest portions of the outdoor track season.

27. Flomena Asekol, Senior, Florida (-5 / 22)

Flomena Asekol has yet to compete this cross country season.

26. Aubrey Frentheway, Senior, BYU (-5 / 21)

A 5th place finish at the Bill Dellinger Invite was solid, but it doesn't really tell us anything new about Aubrey Frentheway. We'll wait until her next race to get a better gauge as to where her fitness is currently at.

25. Gracelyn Larkin, Senior, Northern Arizona (-8 / 17)

A 9th place finish at the Virginia Invitational was a really solid result for Gracelyn Larkin who gave the Northern Arizona women a welcomed third low-stick behind Elise Stearns and Annika Reiss.

Did we expect Larkin to be slightly more competitive in this field? Yes, we thought she could have been among the top-five finishers, especially after running 15:23 (5k) earlier this summer. Regardless, her race still deserves plenty of kudos. Larkin will likely remain as a top All-American threat for the Lumberjacks over the next two months and she can likely be even better in future races.

24. Rosina Machu, Sophomore, Gonzaga (Unranked)

Rosina Machu skyrockets into our rankings after one of the most impressive performances of the season thus far. And to be completely honest, this Gonzaga runner wasn’t a name that we were expecting to see on this list. Yes, she was fairly solid on the track during the spring months, but what she produced this past weekend was beyond superb.

After finishing runner-up in her opening meet of the season, the Bulldog sophomore completely obliterated a competitive field at the Sean Earl Lakefront Invitational, winning by a staggering 24 seconds. And what makes that winning margin even more impressive is the fact that it came over All-American standout, Addie Engel.

That victory was a huge statement from Machu. It not only proves that she can be an All-American candidate, but it also suggests she may be able to contend with the very top. However, at the same time, we still need to see Machu continue to produce results like this before we can give her an even higher ranking.

23. Grace Fetherstonhaugh, Rs. Senior, Oregon State (-4 / 19)

Grace Fetherstonhaugh has yet to compete this cross country season.

22. Natalie Cook, Sophomore, Colorado (-9 / 13)

We haven’t seen much from sophomore sensation Natalie Cook this season. She did compete unattached at the CU Time Trial at the beginning of September, but Cook’s name didn’t make the entries list for the Virginia Invitational. Of course, the same thing could be said about many of her teammates who were also absent in Charlottesville.

Nuttycombe is the next race on Colorado's cross country schedule. By that point, we should have a somewhat clearer (although not truly definitive) answer as to what the sophomore superstar could be doing this fall.

21. Chloe Scrimgeour, Junior, Georgetown (Unranked)

Chloe Scrimgeour is someone who we knew was going to be nationally competitive this fall -- maybe even a fringe All-American. After all, she was the “first one out” of our preseason top-50 rankings.

However, I don't think anyone was expecting this Hoya star to open up her season in the manner that she did.

At the Virginia Invitational, the Georgetown junior simply blew us away with her monumental 2nd place finish. Not only did she take down numerous top-ranked runners, but she was only a mere second behind Northern Arizona’s Elise Stearns, someone who may be favored for a top-three finish at the national meet this November!

If Scrimgeour is able to maintain this form, then don't be surprised to see her make another leap in our rankings. She already has a history of competitive marks and is seemingly beginning to realize her full potential this fall.

20. Alyson Churchill, Senior, Florida State (Unranked)

We were a bit conflicted about Alyson Churchill going into the 2023 cross country season.

The Florida State star had an excellent outdoor track season, running a monster 15:33 (5k) personal best and finishing 11th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in that same event. However, Churchill's 2022 cross country resume wasn't all that exciting. And even with improvements, this Seminole veteran wasn't guaranteed to be a top name.

Of course, what we didn't anticipate was that Churchill would be a completely different runner this fall than she was in 2022. The Florida State ace finished 3rd this past weekend at the always-stacked Joe Piane Invitational, barely missing silver (and an upset over Kelsey Chmiel) by a tenth of a second.

No matter how you look at that performance, Churchill is the real deal. She has a nationally competitive 5k PR to validate her latest result and the women she defeated are among some of the very best in the NCAA. For that reason, Churchill gets a massive boost to TSR #20.

19. Taylor Roe, Rs. Senior, Oklahoma State (-4 / 15)

Taylor Roe has yet to compete this cross country season.

18. Addie Engel, Junior, Ohio State (-7 / 11)

Few women were more consistently great during the 2022 cross country season than Addie Engel. The only collegiates to defeat the Ohio State star prior to last year's national meet were Parker Valby, Emily Venters and Olivia Markezich.

And after earning a 10th place finish at the NCAA XC Championships, you can understand why were super high on Engel going into the fall of 2023.

But so far this season, Engel has looked just the slightest bit off. She settled for a solid, but unexciting, 11th place finish at the Virginia Invitational and later went to the Loyola Lakefront Invitational where little-known Rosina Machu outran her by 24 seconds.

To be clear, Engel isn't running poorly and that's why we're opting to keep this usually-reliable veteran inside of our top-20. We'll be interested to see how the Ohio State leader approaches her next race, the Arturo Barrios Invitational, which should be one of the lighter meets that Engel will toe the line for this fall.

17. Greta Karinauskaite, Sophomore, California Baptist (+22 / 39)

To no one's surprise, Greta Karinauskaite has made the largest improvement in our rankings (among those were already listed), skyrocketing up 22 spots.

It has to be said that Karinauskaite was one of the hardest individuals to rank during the preseason as her cross country performances were certainly not reflective of how good she was on the track. Naturally, until we saw her make those same improvements on the grass, we remained conservative with our ranking.

Of course, after her blistering win at the Griak Invitational, it's clear that this Lancer star is beginning to translate her track talent to the grass. If she is able to peak as well as she did this past spring, then she could very well find herself knocking on the door of our top-10...

16. Amina Maatoug, Junior, Duke (+4 / 20)

Last fall, Duke distance star Amina Maatoug was fantastic and this season, she may be even better! The versatile Dutch runner started her season brilliantly, picking up a 7th place finish at the hotly-contested Virginia Invite.

Maatoug was renowned for her consistency on the grass last fall, so don't be surprised to see her continually mix it with the very best that the nation has to offer. When it comes to her 2023 fall campaign, we know that the Blue Devil low-stick will be great, but now the question has become...how great?

15. Amy Bunnage, Freshman, Stanford (+3 / 18)

Good news: Amy Bunnage is as good as expected.

In her debut race for the Stanford women, the Aussie freshman was bumping elbows with some of the nation’s best en route to a 6th place finish. Bunnage, only five seconds out of the top-three, didn’t let a lack of collegiate experience affect her one bit.

Of course, it’s only her first race and she has yet to compete across the 6k distance. Regardless, Bunnage is already making a name for herself this fall and we'll be fascinated to see just how high she can rise this fall.

14. Margot Appleton, Junior, Virginia (+14 / 28)

Margot Appleton has toed the line once this season and she looked superb doing so.

Her 3rd place finish at the Virginia Invitational wasn’t particularly surprising, but that doesn't mean it wasn't super impressive. The Cavalier star took down a whole host of top-ranked athletes which is why she makes a huge leap in our rankings. And more importantly, Appleton validated her outstanding breakout year on the track from the winter and spring months.

With Virginia being the host site for the NCAA XC Championships, Appleton will surely be looking to impress the home fans -- and her early-season performance is suggesting that she is in the proper form to do so.

13. Ceili McCabe, Senior, West Virginia (-1 / 12)

Ceili McCabe has yet to compete this cross country season.

12. Amelia Mazza-Downie, Senior, Florida (-2 / 10)

Amelia Mazza-Downie has yet to compete this cross country season.

11. Kaylee Mitchell, Senior, Oregon State (+3 / 14)

No one really pushed Kaylee Mitchell at the Bill Dellinger Invite as evidenced by her 18-second win. The Beaver senior, who hadn’t originally planned to run at that meet, has now shaken off the cobwebs and will be ready to compete for a top-five finish at the Nuttycombe Invitational a week and a half from now.

10. Bailey Hertenstein, Rs. Senior, Colorado (-2 / 8)

Bailey Hertenstein has yet to compete this cross country season.

9. Amaris Tyynismaa, Senior, NC State (-2 / 7)

Amaris Tyynismaa has yet to compete this cross country season.

8. Maia Ramsden, Junior, Harvard (+1 / 9)

There really isn't too much to say about Maia Ramsden's season thus far. She opened her fall campaign with a victory at the HYP tri-meet and then made short work of the field at the Battle in Beantown, taking the victory by four seconds over Villanova’s Sadie Sigfstead.

Ramsden looks like she is in a great spot as she preps for her first real challenge of the season, the Nuttycombe Invite.

7. Hilda Olemomoi, Sophomore, Alabama (-4 / 3)

The Alabama sophomore opened up her season with a rather underwhelming 8th place finish at the Joe Piane Invitational. And while that isn’t necessarily a disastrous result, it certainly wasn't what we expected to see from someone who we thought would be contending for the individual victory.

Of course, let's not overreact. It has to be noted that Hilda Olemomoi had been struggling with illness in the week leading up to her race, so this performance may not be truly reflective of the form that she is in.

6. Olivia Markezich, Senior, Notre Dame (-1 / 5)

Notre Dame’s Olivia Markezich was a pre-race favorite for the individual title at the Joe Piane Invitational. She had the home course advantage, but that didn't seem to matter very much as she finished 6th overall in a top-heavy field.

Markezich approached the mile mark in 2nd place, but over the next 2400 meters, the senior would fall 10 seconds behind the leader. And by the time she passed the 5k split, Markezich was 25 seconds back. With the top-three out of the question, the Fighting Irish ace had to rely on her strength and speed to carry her home. Markezich crossed the finish line in 6th place, five seconds behind teammate Siona Chisholm.

For her first race of the season, this isn’t a performance to worry about from Markezich. She was 8th last fall at the Joe Piane Invite and would go on to finish 8th at the 2022 cross country national meet. The Fighting Irish talent can now take the tactical errors that she made last weekend and readjust before she next toes the line.

5. Kelsey Chmiel, Senior, NC State (-1 / 4)

Should we even be surprised by Kelsey Chmiel finishing 2nd at the Joe Piane Invite?

No.

Should we be concerned that the veteran lost by 10 seconds to an NCAA newbie?

Again, no.

This NC State superstar is one of the most consistent racers in the country, especially at this high of a level. The Wolfpack ace might not have had the final gear to get a win this past weekend, but right now is not the time for her to be at her absolute best. Chmiel will have all the necessary tools in her toolbox come the postseason to earn yet another top finish on the national stage.

4. Elise Stearns, Junior, Northern Arizona (+2 / 6)

Prior to the start of this season, Elise Stearns hadn’t raced since the NCAA Indoor Championships. That, however, didn’t deter the Northern Arizona star from winning the biggest race of her career thus far at the Virginia Invitational.

Stearns held off Georgetown’s Chloe Scrimgeour by a mere margin of 0.8 seconds en route to not only her individual win, but a dominant team victory by the Lumberjacks. With a look at what she will face at the cross country national meet, the junior looks just as dangerous as she was last fall -- and maybe even better.

3. Doris Lemngole, Freshman, Alabama (+21 / 24)

Prior to this season, we were uncertain about just how good Doris Lemngole was going to be. She had the flashy times to her name, but until we had seen her in action, we decided to remain cautious with her in our preseason rankings.

But after just one month into the 2023 cross country season, it's safe to assume that the Alabama newcomer is truly the real deal.

After making light work of a fairly competitive field at the Southern Showcase, Lemngole saw her first real challenge at the Joe Piane Invitational. This challenge, however, proved to be not so challenging after all as she threw down a statement nine-second win over one of the NCAA's very best names in Kelsey Chmiel.

That kind of performance suggests that the Crimson Tide rookie is a top-five caliber athlete. And her ceiling beyond that? Well, it could be very, very high.

2. Parker Valby, Junior, Florida (0 / 2)

Parker Valby has yet to compete this cross country season.

1. Katelyn Tuohy, Junior, NC State (0 / 1)

Katelyn Tuohy has yet to compete this cross country season.
