OSU At The Big 12 Championship
OSU leads the league with its six Big 12 crowns. The Cowgirls first won the event in 1999 in Boulder, Colo. OSU then began its run of three consecutive championships with its victory in 2001 in Harvester, Iowa. After winning the 2002 tourney in Manhattan, Kan., the Cowgirls closed out their string with their triumph in Columbia, Mo. in 2003. OSU won the 2005 title in Austin, Texas before claiming last year's event on its home course, Karsten Creek, in Stillwater.
Cowgirls At The Big 12 Championship
OSU has been equally successful in the individual Big 12 race as it has been in the team race, having six players claim medalist honors during the history of the event. In 1999, Maria Bodén became the first Cowgirl to win the event and regained the title in 2001. Emma Zackrisson grabbed top honors in 2002, while Annie Thurman followed two years later with back-to-back victories in 2004 and 2005. Jaclyn Sweeney won the event last year to become the school's most recent champion.
