STILLWATER - With the 2012 cross country season underway, we sat down with some of the newcomers to the team to get an idea of who they are and how they chose Oklahoma State. Today's Q&A is with two-time Missouri state cross country champion, Samantha Nightingale.
What brought you to Oklahoma State?
"Obviously the track and cross country team, but the coaches and the team itself are a really close-knit group and I really like them."
What is your favorite thing about OSU? Why?
"I'd have to say the campus. The campus is gorgeous. I love the old buildings and the old-school look they have."

"I'm not big on watching other sports, but probably college football."
Who are your favorite team(s)?
"Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals, obviously."
Who is your favorite Olympian? Why?
