September 07, 2021 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State Cross Country's Isai Rodriguez earned Big 12 Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week honors after his dominating performance last week at the Cowboy Preview in Stillwater, the conference office announced Tuesday.

Rodriguez, a senior from Ringwood, Okla., set a personal-best in the men's 5K, finishing with a time of 15:03.8. The two-time All-American set the pace and finished 18.7 seconds ahead of runners from in-state rivals No. 8 Tulsa and Oklahoma.

This is Rodriguez's second straight weekly award, as he was the final Big 12 Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week during the 2020 season.

Rodriguez and the Cowboys won the team title at the Cowboy Preview after taking the top five spots in the field, which lead to a perfect score in the event.

The Cowboys return to action on Sep. 18 when they play host to the Cowboy Jamboree in Stillwater.
