Oklahoma State Cross Country Travels to Iowa for Big 12 Cross Country Championships

THE BASICS
Oklahoma State cross country enters the postseason each ranked inside the top 6 for just the second time in program history. Both the Cowboys and Cowgirls have been ranked in the top 3 throughout the season until last week and are looking to defend their back-to-back sweeps at the Big 12 Cross Country Championships this Saturday in Ames, Iowa.

Run it Back
The Cowgirls begin postseason action with one of the most talented rosters in program history. All-Americans Taylor Roe, Gabija Galvydyte, Molly Born and Billah Jepkirui will attempt to defend their back-to-back Big 12 titles. Jepkirui already has an event win at the Cowboy Jamboree and was named Big 12 Runner of the Week for her performance.

The Cowboys enter postseason play with some star athletes making their season debuts this weekend. All-Americans Alex Maier and Fouad Messaoudi will make their season debuts, joined by Kenyan teammates Denis Kipngetich, Brian Musau and Cowboy All-American Victor Shitsama. The OSU men have won three straight conference titles on the grass and 12 overall during Dave Smith's tenure.
