Denison Men & Women Number One in Final Top 25 Dual Meet Poll
Big Red is number one in final CSCAA Top 25 Dual meet poll of 2019-2020 season.
The final Division III Top 25 Dual Meet poll is out and Denison men and women finish the regular season as number one.
The Big Red secured eleven of the twelve top votes from the men’s committee, moving them into first. Denison has been second in every poll this season except for the October preseason poll, when they were ranked first. Emory jumps five positions to second place this month. Keyon, previously ranked first, sits three points behind Emory in third. MIT is fourth for the third time in a row while Johns Hopkins moved to fifth.
The final poll of the season shows little change on the women's side. Similar to last month, Denison remains the unanimous number one team, as voted on by the committee. Kenyon women move up one spot into second and Emory, two points back, slides into third. Williams keeps their ranking at fourth and Tufts earns fifth, up from eighth, to round out the women's top five.
The poll aims to measure the top teams in head-to-head competition. The rankings are voted on by CSCAA-member coaches and select media.
