Oklahoma State's Barbora Kuncova became the second Cowgirl to be named champion at the Texas Relays Friday, in Austin at Mike A. Myers Stadium. Her performance currently ranks her number one in the NCAA for the 3,000m steeplechase.

Kuncova, a junior from Doubravice, Czech Republic, won the 3,000-meter steeplechase by setting a school record with a time of 10:18.92. The previous school record was held by Siri Alfheim, the 2001 5000m Indoor National Champion. Kuncova's time was nearly eight seconds better than Arkansas's Maureen Scott, who finished second in the event.
