NEW ORLEANS – The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association released its preseason top-25 poll for the indoor season, Monday, with the Cowboys and Cowgirls both earning nods at 14 and 11, respectively.
The Cowgirls debut at 11 is their highest preseason rank in school history and their first time in the preseason poll since 2015. The squad is the second-highest ranked team in the conference behind No. 5 Texas.
Last year the Cowgirls finished 10th at the NCAA Championships with returning champion Kaela Edwards winning the indoor mile title.
As for the rest of the Big 12, Baylor sits in 13th, Kansas State in 18th and Oklahoma has the 25 spot.
Conference indoor champions a season ago, the Cowboys slot in at No. 14 in the preliminary ranking, their highest ever position in a preseason indoor poll.
The Pokes come into the year off a cross country season that produced two All-Americans and brought OSU's conference title streak to nine-straight.
Among the Big 12, the Cowboys are the third-highest ranked squad, with Texas (seventh), Texas Tech (12th) and Oklahoma (24th) owning top-25 positions, and Baylor and Kansas State just outside in 27th and 30th.
OSU picks up the indoor season this weekend in Lincoln, Nebraska, at the Holiday Inn Invitational.
