NORMAN, Okla. – Oklahoma State track & field travels to Norman, Okla., this weekend to compete in the Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships Friday, May 12, through Sunday, May 14.
Overall, the Cowboys and Cowgirls have won three of the four Big 12 championships contested so far this year, with the women's cross country and track & field program looking to become the first school in the Big 12 era to complete the conference triple crown on the women's side.
On the men's side, the Cowboys return a pair of Big 12 Champions outdoors in Alex Maier (5,000 Meters) and Fouad Messaoudi (1,500 Meters). Both distance runners will attempt to defend their Big 12 titles this weekend. The pair have combined for seven Big 12 titles across all three seasons in the past calendar year after they each won a pair of conference titles indoors in February along with Maier's Big 12 Cross Country title back in October.
On the women's side, Taylor Roe is the only defending champion outdoors returning for the Cowgirls in the 1,500 Meters to go along with her 5,000 Meter conference title indoors. The junior from Washington is looking to add to her total of six conference championships in her illustrious career.
The Cowgirls will also have indoor Big 12 champions Billah Jepkirui (Mile) and Ariadni Adamopoulou (Pole Vault) on the track this weekend looking to earn their second career titles.
Competition begins Friday morning at 7 a.m. CT with the women's and men's championship 10,000 Meters, followed by the first half of the Heptathlon and Decathlon competitions.
