April 03, 2026 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State men's and women's outdoor track & field continued its outdoor season with a tri-meet weekend spanning across the country at the Florida Relays, Texas Relays and Stanford Invitational.

At the Stanford Invitational in California, Nate Collier emerged victorious in the men's Discus Throw after breaking the program record for the second time this season. The junior dominated the event, hitting 57.32 meters on his first attempt and beating out the second-place competitor by over two meters in the final standings.

Elsewhere in the field, senior Rachel Neaves snagged a victory of her own in the women's Hammer Throw with her winning toss of 61.67 meters. Fellow Cowgirl Sutton Howard placed fourth in the event with a throw of 54.49 meters.

On the track true freshman Kadence Huck started the day off strong for the Cowgirls, taking home gold in the sixth section of the women's 1,500 Meters with her time of 4:25.74 after leading wire-to-wire. Later in the day, Bella Nelson and Payton Hinkle both took top five spots in their heat of the women's 3,000 Meter Steeplechase. Nelson landed second in the event after clocking a time of 10:22.81, the ninth-fastest time in program history, while Hinkle ended with a time of 10:31.25 en route to a fifth-place finish.

In the men's 10,000 Meters, two Cowboys took spots in the top 10 to cap off the night. Two-time outdoor All-American Denis Kipngetich crushed the event with his time of 27:38.26, earning second overall. Adisu Guadie also found success on the track with a new personal-best time of 27:59.23 and a finish in seventh place. Fellow Cowboys Jacob Deacon and Will Muirhead also secured their spots on the program's all-time list with marks of 28:22.94 and 28:27.31.

Over at the Florida Relays, the Cowboys captured third in the men's 4x400 Meter Relay. The squad, consisting of Will Bynum, Charlie Thorne, Blake Wynne and Mason Page, clocked a time of 3:06.26, which is good for the eighth-fastest time in program history.

On the women's side, the Cowgirls were runners-up after blazing through with a time of 3:33.36 on the day. Made up of Annie Molenhouse, Madisyn Jackson, Jinah Mickens-Malik and Brooke Beck, the team's time currently stands as the second-fastest in program history, just two-tenths short of the program record.

At the Texas Relays in Austin, Steven Schmidt and Cooper Moore kicked off action with impressive performances in the men's Decathlon. Schmidt took home fifth with his total score of 7,299 points, less than 200 points short from the program record set by Phillip Frank in 2023. Moore finished just a hair behind, scoring 7,298 points and a sixth-place finish to mark the third-best score in program history.

For the Cowgirls, Katie Chapman and Elise Eikeland secured the fourth and fifth-best marks in program history in the Heptathlon with their scores of 5,484 and 5,430 points, respectively.
