Gabija Galvydyte, former Cowgirls to compete for World Athletics Championships

Oklahoma State track & field will be well-represented on the world stage in the coming week.

Current Cowgirl track athlete Gabija Galvydyte along with four former Cowgirl athletes are competing at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, this week. The event began Saturday and runs through Aug. 27.

Galvydyte will compete in the 800 Meters, an event she finished as runner-up in at this year's NCAA Outdoor Championships and third in 2022. Galvydyte broke former Cowgirl national champions Sinclaire Johnson's school record in the 800 Meters at the European Athletics Team Championships in June.

Galvydyte, a three-time first-team All-American, begins 800-Meter heats Wednesday.
