Cross Country Seeks to Continue Dominance at Home in Jamboree
September 19, 2016 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track, Cowgirl Cross Country & Track
The Oklahoma State cross country teams look to build upon their success at home with team wins at the 80th Cowboy Jamboree this Saturday.
Since the first running in 1937, the Pokes have won 21 Jamboree titles with six-straight coming since 2010. The last loss was to Northern Arizona in 2009, the year OSU won its first NCAA title under coach Dave Smith. With a win this Saturday, the Pokes would slot into a tie for the second-longest win streak in Jamboree history behind Arkansas' eight straight from 1975-82.
The Cowgirls have dominated under coach Smith winning six-straight for the longest streak in event history.
Last year, OSU swept the Jamboree titles for the sixth-straight time, then went on to sweep the Big 12 Championships, which they hosted as well to finish their home schedule unbeaten.
This season, the Cowboys went 5-0 in the Cowboy Duals to open the season and the Cowgirls went 3-2, coming up just short on SEC powerhouse Arkansas and in-state conference rival Oklahoma.
Last year Cerake Geberkidane won the men's 8K race to give the Cowboys their third consecutive individual champion, and Ingeborg Loevnes was the Cowgirls' highest finisher, crossing the line in third.
This year, Geberkidane and the Cowboys, and Natalie Baker and the Cowgirls return to the Jamboree course Sept. 24, at 8 a.m. The day begins with the college women's 5K and college men's 8K. The Cowgirls run in the university section's 5K race at 9:15, and the Cowboys follow in the men's 8K race at 9:45.
