Day Two Results

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Senior Hassan Abdi notched a win for the Oklahoma State indoor track and field team on the final day of the Razorback Invitational on Saturday.

Abdi outkicked Iowa State's Edwin Kurgat in the men's 3,000 meters to win by three-hundredths of a second, running it in 8:15.03.

"He ran a good race," head coach Dave Smith said. "It didn't really earn him much because it was a slow pace, but I think he ran to win and that's always what you want to do."

Abdi's win puts him at No. 40 in the NCAA in the men's 3,000 meters, but his personal-best time in the event is nearly 15 seconds faster.

Despite not getting wins, seven personal-best marks were set on the second day of the meet. Three Cowgirls achieved personal bests in the women's 3,000 meters.

"For a lot of the athletes, it's still kind of about knocking the rust off," Smith said. "We're still getting back that taste of racing, and we've got a big weekend two weeks from now."

In the women's 800 meters, four Cowgirls took top-20, highlighted by Essex, England native Kaylee Dodd. Dodd is looking to improve on her ninth-place finish in last year's NCAA Indoor Championships.

Junior Malik Givens ran the preliminary 60-meter dash in 6.79, allowing him to qualify in the 60-meter finals, which he took seventh overall.

"I think he's ready to run fast," Smith said. "He's primed and ready to go and he'll get more opportunities. He's ready to run."

Next weekend, Dave Smith's squads head to Kansas for the DeLoss Dodds Invitational. They'll look to improve on last year's meet, where the Pokes swept the top-five places in the 600-yard run.
