With only two laps remaining in the 5000 Meters, sophomore phenom Brian Musau decided it was go time and turned in a blazing 400 meters to secure a first-place finish in the event, becoming the only Cowboy in program history to do so.

“That was a heck of a close,” said OSU coach Dave Smith. “25.8 (seconds) in the last 200 (meters) is absolutely flying, and a meet record in 13:11 is unbelievable… I’m really proud of (Musau).”

Several standout runners represented the Oklahoma State Indoor Track and Field team on its way to capping off a successful 2025 season at the NCAA Championships in Virginia Beach, VA, on March 14-15.
