LAST TIME OUT

The Cowgirl team of Molly Sughroue, Clara Nichols, Savannah Camacho and Kaela Edwards made its debut and came up big, winning the DMR in an NCAA-leading 11:01.15.
Edwards made history again with a school record 4:32.14 in the mile invitational.
Freshman standout Jacob Fincham-Dukes jumped a 7.36m/24-1.75 to move up into a tie with teammate Jerel Morrow for fourth all-time in OSU history and claim the fourth-best jump in the Big 12 this season.
Chase Ealey recorded the second-best throw in Cowgirl history, trumping her mark from a week ago by more than a foot.
John Teeters cruised to the 60-meter win, running the fastest time in the NCAA this season. His 6.54 in the final came within two-hundredths of a second of matching his personal best that he set during his historic 2015 season.
Ealey secured the No. 2 finish and broke her own school record with a 16.92m/55-6.25 mark, just a little more than an inch shy of the winning throw.
Anna Boyert entered the Cowgirl history book with her third-place performance in the 3,000-meter invitational. By finishing the race in 9:26.10, she managed to claim the No. 6 spot on the Cowgirl top-10 list. In the Big 12, her time is the fastest this season by nearly five seconds. Nationally, she sits a half-second out of a top-10 place.
Three Cowgirls earned top-five finishes in the 800-meter invitational, led by All-American Savannah Camacho who won the event in 2:06.67. Clara Nichols (2:06.77) and Molly Sughroue (2:07.86) finished second and fourth, respectively, with Sughroue surpassing her personal best by a second.

A LOOK BACK
At last season's Tyson Invitational, John Teeters ran the ninth-fastest 60-meter dash in NCAA history with a school record 6.52.
Up in Ames, at the Iowa State Classic, three Cowboys ran a sub-four minute mile with Chad Noelle leading the way with a 3:57.78. Vegard Oelstad (3:58.79) and Matthew Fayers (3:59.55) followed Noelle in the event.
On the women's side, Kaela Edwards' 2:03.70 in the 800-meter run secured her a trip to the NCAA Championships.

BOWERMAN UPDATE: WEEK THREE
The second Bowerman list of the season was released Feb. 4, and two Cowboy stars were featured. One made the elite list of 10, while the other received a nod for the first time this season, just missing out on the list.
Nick Miller held his spot in the Bowerman top-10. The Cowboy senior and British Champion has not competed this indoor season, but is expected to make a return to the Cowboys in 2016 after redshirting this past outdoor season.
Making his debut on the list is speedster John Teeters. With his impressive performances in the past three weeks, Teeters has returned to the top of the NCAA in the 60-meter dash, leading the event for the second time in two seasons. Last season, Teeters' 6.52 gave him the joint-top time in the nation after the Indoor season. He finished as the national runner-up.
Teeters has qualified for the Indoor Championships this season, while Miller's highly anticipated debut doesn't yet have a date set.
The next Bowerman update is scheduled for March 4.

COWGIRLS CLIMB TO 22, COWBOYS NO. 24
After jumping 10 spots in the week two rankings, the Oklahoma State Cowgirls held firm at the 22nd spot in the latest United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association top-25, released Monday.
The Cowgirls began the season outside the top-25 at 26th and receiving votes in the preseason poll then fell to 32 during week one. After stellar performances at the DeLoss Dodds and Razorback Invitational, OSU climbed 10 places to reach 22 and remained there following a week off from competition.
All-American Kaela Edwards has had a sensational start to her junior indoor season, leading the NCAA in the mile and owning a close second in the 800-meter run.
With her debut 2:03.60 in the 800-meter run from the Texas A&M Invitational, Edwards secured the No. 1 time in the nation and held that spot until last week. With a third-straight appearance in the national 800-meter indoor semifinal guaranteed, Edwards turned her attention to the mile.
At the Razorback Invitational, Edwards ran a World No. 6 4:32.14 to take the NCAA lead and clinch another spot in the Indoor Championships.
Chase Ealey is the other Cowgirl with a top-10 mark this season, ranking seventh in the shot put with a school record 16.92m/55-6.25 throw at the Razorback Invitational. The Cowgirl distance medley relay team ranks third in the NCAA with an 11:01.15.
The Cowboys enter week three at No. 24 with John Teeters and the DMR team claiming top-10 times.
Teeters' World No. 2 time of 6.54 in the 60-meter dash is a tie for the top time in the NCAA and the DMR's 9:35.35 is sixth, but leads the Big 12 by two seconds over Oklahoma.
