May 09, 2025 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Oklahoma State men's and women's outdoor track and field wrapped up regular season action Friday at the Arkansas Twilight in Fayetteville.
The day's action was highlighted by senior Fouad Messaoudi, who closed out his illustrious regular season career as a Cowboy in dominant fashion with a first place finish in the 1,500 Meters. Messaoudi posted a blazing time of 3:34.34, breaking his own school record by nearly a second. Additionally, this mark is a new Arkansas Twilight meet record and John McDonnell Field facility record, which stood for nearly 37 years.
Alex Stitt (2nd Place) and Ryan Schoppe (4th Place) joined Messaoudi in etching their names in the Cowboy record books for the 1,500 Meters, with Stitt's 3:36.33 mark good for second best all time and Schoppe's time of 3:37.18 good for third best. Fellow Cowboys Laban Kipkemboi (6th Place), Denis Kipngetich (7th Place), and David Mora (9th Place) also earned top ten finishes in the race.
Rounding out a successful day for the Cowboys was Triston Read, whose 1:48.43 mark in the 800 Meters earned him a fourth place finish as well as the eighth best time in OSU history.
On the women's side, Katie Chapman and Annie Molenhouse turned in impressive performances in the 100 Meter Hurdles, with Chapman's 13.82 mark earning her third place as well as the third best time in Cowgirl history. Molenhouse wasn't far behind, finishing in fourth place with a time of 13.98, sixth best in program history. Earlier in the day, freshman Autumn Michalski delivered a strong showing of her own in the 3,000 Meter Steeplechase, placing second with a time of 10:43.23.
Over in the field, Blair Anderson and Kileigh Mixon added two more victories to Oklahoma State's tally for the day. On the men's side, Anderson turned in a season-best effort of 7.63 Meters in the Long Jump en route to a first place finish. Mixon established a new personal best in the women's High Jump, winning the event with a 1.73 meter leap, good for seventh best in Cowgirl history.
The Cowboys and Cowgirls will begin postseason action next weekend, May 15-17, traveling to Lawrence, Kan., for the Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
