Last Time Out
Oklahoma State's last competition was at the Razorback Invitational at the University of Arkansas.
Oklahoma State freshman German Fernandez highlighted the day for the Cowboys with a world junior record time of 3:56.50 in the one-mile run, also giving him first place in the event and a school record.
Ryan Prentice also ran well for the Cowboys, posting an 8:18.74, enough for second place, in the 3,000-meter run.
OSU in The Polls
The Oklahoma State men's track and field team is ranked No. 24 in the nation in this week's U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll.
The Cowboys started the season outside of the rankings, but vaulted into the top 25 ahead of such teams as Stanford and Big 12 rivals Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Iowa State after a strong showing at the Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville last weekend. OSU is one of eight Big 12 teams included in this week's rankings.
