Cowgirl Equestrian Travels to Big 12 Championship
The No. 4 Oklahoma State equestrian team (6-5, 4-2) will travel to Waco, Texas for the Big 12 Championship this weekend.
Last Time Out
Oklahoma State split two weekend matchups with Baylor and Texas A&M, defeating the Bears, 11-8, in Waco and falling to the Aggies, 16-11, in College Station on March 5-6.
The Rankings
The Cowgirls remain in the fourth position in the latest Women's Intercollegiate Equestrian National Coaches Poll. All Big 12 participating schools are in the top 10, with Texas A&M sitting at No. 3, Baylor is in the sixth spot and Kansas State checks in at No. 7.
Looking For Back-To-Back Big 12 Championships
