Cowboy Runners Gear Up for Nationals

November 20, 2003 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track

Coming off last week's victory at the District V Championships, Oklahoma State's men's cross country team is preparing to make its 10th trip in 11 years to the NCAA meet, to be held on Monday at the Irv Warren Golf Course in Waterloo, Iowa.

The Cowboys enter the race ranked 21st nationally, but look to finish higher behind Midwest Regional champion Mindi Pukstas, as well as regional top 10 finishers Jason Woolhouse and Scott Rantall.

Other team members making the trip include senior Derek Tate, sophomore Sean McCabe, redshirt freshmen Tyler Campbell and Ryan Ripley, and true freshman Brian Ehlis.

The Pokes will take to the starting line at 11 a.m. Monday morning for the 10k race and a chance for a national championship.
