DURHAM, N.C. -- The conference office announced the 2015 ACC preseason cross country coaches' polls Wednesday morning, with the Duke women coming in at No. 10. Notre Dame claimed the top spot in this season's preseason rankings.

Eleventh-ranked Louisville, No. 12 Georgia Tech, No. 13 Clemson, No. 14 Pittsburgh and No. 15 Miami round out the rankings.
North Carolina captured the team title at last season's ACC meet, with Florida State placing second, Virginia coming in third, NC State finishing fourth and Notre Dame clinching fifth.
