Cowboy Cross Country Chases Championship in Tallahassee

THE BASICS

Oklahoma State cross country travels to Tallahassee, Fla., to compete in the 2021 NCAA Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Nov. 20.

Both the men's and women's teams are ranked inside the top six heading to the national championships and will look to pick up more hardware after sweeping the Big 12 Championships on Oct. 29 in Stillwater.

Run it back

The third-ranked Cowboys are hot off their second-straight victory at the Midwest Regional. All seven Cowboy runners (Ryan Smeeton, Alex Maier, Victor Shitsama, Shea Foster, Rory Leonard, Isai Rodriguez and Ryan Schoppe) all finished as All-Region runners.

The sixth-ranked Cowgirls automatically qualified for nationals after placing second at regionals. The Big 12 Champions head to Tallahassee with three All-Region finishers (Taylor Roe, Molly Born and Gabby Hentemann) and are looking to push for trophy contention.
