Cowboys No. 7, Cowgirls No. 19 in Cross Country Preseason Coaches’ Poll
August 27, 2019 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track
STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State men's cross country team came in at No. 7 and the women at 19th in the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Preseason National Coaches' Poll.
Both the Cowboys and the Cowgirls were picked as the No. 2 team in the NCAA Midwest Regional in Stillwater slated for November 15.
In the Big 12, the Cowboys are ranked behind only No. 5 Iowa State. The Cowboys will aim to reclaim possession of the Big 12 title after last year's runner-up finish to the Cyclones in what figures to be a tight race in Waco, Texas on November 2. No other Big 12 teams appeared in the top 30 and Texas was the only other conference opponent to receive votes.
For the Cowgirls, their 19th ranking was second in the Big 12 behind No. 17 Iowa State. The Cowgirls were conference runners-up to the Cyclones a year ago. Texas and West Virginia each received votes, but neither cracked the top-30.
The Cowboys and Cowgirls open up 2019 cross country competition at the Hurricane Preview on Saturday in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The men will start competition off with a 4-mile run at 8 a.m. followed by the women who will run a 2-mile route. The meet will take place at the Mohawk Sports Complex.
Returning All-Americans Isai Rodriguez and Ashenafi Hatte will look to lead the charge for the Cowboys, while 2019 All-Big 12 honorees Taylor Somers and Ariane Ballner highlight the Cowgirl entries.
