Brian Musau wins 5,000 Meter title at NCAA Outdoor Championships
June 14, 2025 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track
EUGENE, Ore. – Brian Musau added another chapter to his growing legacy Friday night at Hayward Field, claiming his second career 5,000 Meter national title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
After winning the 5,000 Meter title indoors, Musau doubled down on his dominance outdoors, clocking 13:20.59 in a masterclass of tactics and closing speed. After running a staggering 4:01 over his final 1600 meters, Musau held the lead entering the bell lap and found yet another gear to fend off a late challenge from Villanova's Marco Langon. The victory marks his second NCAA title of the year and second straight first team All-America finish in the 5K after placing fourth last season.
Fouad Messaoudi joined him on the podium with a personal-best time of 13:25.48, good for eighth place and first team All-America honors. The pair gave Oklahoma State 11 combined points in the team standings, placing the Cowboys at 11th with 19 points.
The Cowboys' 19 points and 11th place finish were each the highest for the program since 1984, when Cowboy legend Joe Dial lead the way with his national title in the Pole Vault.
In the women's Heptathlon, Annie Molenhouse closed out day one in 11th place with 3,443 points. She opened the event with a personal best in the 100 Meter Hurdles, clocking 13.94. She also cleared 1.66m in the High Jump, threw 12.32m in the Shot Put and finished the 200 Meters in 24.13.
The Cowgirls wrap up competition Saturday, with Molenhouse finishing the final three events of the Heptathlon and Isca Chelangat running in the 5,000 Meter Final.
The entirety of the NCAA Outdoor Championships will be televised on the ESPN family of networks with Saturday's competition televised on ESPNU starting at 8 p.m. Live results for the meet can be found here.
