Cowboy Cross Country Remains At No. 4
November 04, 2014 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track
STILLWATER, Okla. -
For the seventh-consecutive week, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has voted the Oklahoma State men's cross country team as the fourth-ranked team in the country, according to the organization's latest poll released today.
After taking the 2014 Big 12 Championship last weekend, the Cowboys extend their place amongst the nation's top-five teams to 60-consecutive weeks. Oklahoma State's 329 votes trail only Pac-12 champion Colorado (360 votes), Oregon (340 votes) and ACC-champion Syracuse (334 votes).
In the women's polls, Oklahoma State dropped out of the rankings for the first time in 2014, ending the Cowgirls' six-week streak of holding a national ranking. OSU's fourth-place finish at last weekend's conference championships match its standing as the fourth-highest ranked team in the conference, as the Cowgirls trail No. 5 Iowa State, No. 7 West Virginia and No. 21 Baylor.
The Oklahoma State cross country program will be back in action at the NCAA Midwest Regional on Nov. 14. For more updates and information, follow @Run4OKState on Twitter.
