STILLWATER — The Cowboys were 0.2 seconds from claiming a fifth national championship in program history on Saturday morning.

Running their home course, Oklahoma State lost via tiebreaker to Northern Arizona after the Cowboys entered the NCAA Championships as the No. 4 team in the country.

The 0.2 seconds could’ve (should’ve, would’ve) came in two different spots. Alex Maier was OSU’s top finisher, finishing fifth with a 10K time of 28:58.2 — he was 0.2 seconds behind Tennessee’s Dylan Jacobs. OSU’s Victor Shitsama and Rory Lenard finished 31st and 32nd, respectively.
