Meet Notes: Big 12 Championship: TCU

STILLWATER -- Two days away from competing for the program's fifth Big 12 Conference championship, the fifth-ranked Oklahoma State Cowgirls are excited for the task at hand.

"I'm excited for Big 12's because we've been working extremely hard this year, and we've really come together as a team and I can't wait to see it all pay off," said OSU sophomore Elizabeth Collins.

This year's championship is particularly special for the Cowgirls, as it will be held at their home arena in Stillwater.

This is the third time that Oklahoma State has hosted the Big 12 Championship, winning the conference title the first two times (2009, 2013).

The Cowgirls finished the regular season in a tie with Baylor for first place, with both schools having a 5-1 conference record. Oklahoma State, however, will be the No. 2 seed this weekend, and will open against third-seeded TCU.

OSU has defeated TCU twice already this season, winning 12-8 in both Stillwater and Springtown, Texas.

For the Cowgirls, senior Ty Paris is on fire, having taken home Most Outstanding Performer honors in her last two matches by posting scores of 76.5 in Horsemanship.

Carly Barrick and Jorden Davis are also coming off stellar performances against No. 1 Auburn, posting scores of 96 and 95 in Equitation on the Flat, respectively.

Competition kicks off at 10 a.m. on Friday at Totusek Arena, with two meets running simultaneously in the indoor and outdoor arenas.
