STILLWATER, Okla.- The Oklahoma State men's track and field team came in at No. 2 in the updated U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association standings for the 2015 John McDonnell Division 1 Program of the Year Award.
The award honors the institution that has achieved the most success in the cross-country, indoor and outdoor track & field seasons based on the institution's finish at the NCAA Championships.
After finishing ninth at the NCAA Cross-Country Championships and 13th at the Indoor Championships, the Cowboys sit one spot behind top-ranked Oregon.
