The Basics
Oklahoma State's Cowboy and Cowgirl track and field teams return to action this Friday and Saturday at the Sooner Invitational in Norman, Okla.
Heading Down South
The Cowboy and Cowgirls traveled to the University of Oklahoma last weekend for the John Jacobs Invitational. The teams have gotten to compete in state only two other times this outdoor season, and have spent most of their time in Fayetteville, Ark.
A Fast Start
Cowboys Johnathan Stublaski and John Kosgei are both in good position to qualify for the NCAA West Region Championships in the 1,500 meters. Kosgei is in 11th on the West Outdoor Performance List, while Stublaski is in the No. 17 spot.
For the Cowgirls Mihaela Susa is third on the NCAA performance list for the 1,500 meters with a time of 4:13.08.
A New System
Gone is the four-region NCAA Championship system that has been used for the past seven years. The new system features two regional sites and a final site, essentially making the NCAA Championships a two-weekend affair. There are no longer regional and automatic qualifying marks, instead the top 48 in each region will advance to the regional. Each round, starting with the regional will have a national component. The first round of the regionals will be known as the NCAA Championships first round.
