Keep count, Oklahoma State fans. It’s now five national titles for Cowboy cross country, and 55 across all sports for Oklahoma State.
OSU’s men’s cross country team claimed its first NCAA championship since 2012 on Saturday morning in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Cowboys dominated with 49 points. According to NCAA Stats, 49 points was the lowest team score to win the national championship in 18 years.
Denis Kipngetich was the Cowboys’ highest individual finisher in fourth place.
Defending national champion and top seed Northern Arizona finished in second with 71 points. Last year in Stillwater, Northern Arizona narrowly beat OSU for the title in a tiebreaker with 83 points.
