(NEW YORK, NY) — The latest Golf World/Nike Golf NJCAA DI coaches' poll has been released, combining the resources of Golf World magazine, Nike Golf and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). The complete results, including results from Divisions I, II, III, and NAIA will appear in the April 16, 2012 issue of Golf World. Meridian remains the top team in the NJCAA D-I men's coaches' poll.
The Eagles were the lone junior college team in the field at the recent Arkansas State Red Wolf Classic, where they finished sixth in the 22-team field, beating nearly a dozen NCAA Division I schools.
Odessa and Western Texas, ranked second and third for the second consecutive poll, each received one of the remaining two first-place votes.
No new teams entered this week's ranking, while Brevard and Darton entered the top-5.
