NEW ORLEANS – The Oklahoma State Cowboy cross country team climbed one spot to 9, and the Cowgirls held firm at No. 8 in the second regular season United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Poll.
Leading the Midwest region for the 46th-straight week, the Cowboys inched up a spot after Washington plummeted from 8 to 21.
Although the Cowboys haven't competed since the season opener Cowboy Duals, expectations in Stillwater, and around the country, are still high as they have jumped two spots without competition since their preseason debut at 11.
Among the other Big 12 programs, OSU still leads with in-state rival Oklahoma sitting at 19, and Texas and Iowa State receiving votes.
The Midwest No. 1 Cowgirls hold a 12-point edge on ninth-ranked Michigan State in the second regular season poll. The Cowgirls have remained in the eighth-spot since the preseason poll, making this the longest stretch the Cowgirls have been in the USTFCCCA top-10 in poll history. The record dates back to last season's final poll where they slotted in at No. 7 after finishing in the same spot at the NCAA Championships.
OSU's competition in-conference is stronger on the women's side, with Iowa State holding their No. 17 ranking, Kansas moving up three spots to 21, and Texas and Baylor just outside the top-30, receiving votes.
After a long break from competition, both cross country teams return to action Saturday at the 80th Cowboy Jamboree where they will run against 28/RV Tulsa, Kansas State and other teams at the OSU Cross Country Course in Stillwater.
