STILLWATER – Oklahoma State cross country continues postseason play as the Cowboys and Cowgirls hit the road for the first time this season for the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in Ames, Iowa.
The No. 3 Cowboys are coming off a narrow, second-place finish to Colorado at the Big 12 Championships and are looking to return to the top step of the podium at the regional meet. The OSU men have won the past three regional titles and 16 of the last 22 overall.
Individually, No. 1 Denis Kipngetich has won the past three regional championships and is hot off his first career Big 12 title two weeks ago. He is joined by four fellow All-Big 12 honorees, with No. 7 Brian Musau, No. 31 Adisu Guadie, Jacob Deacon and Laban Kipkemboi, each of whom placed in the top 15 at the conference meet.
On the women's side, the No. 8 Cowgirls are also looking to return to the top step of the podium, as they have done in each of the past four iterations of the regional championships.
No. 3 Billah Jepkirui will be searching for her second career regional title, previously doing so in 2023. Additionally, No. 6 Maureen Rutoh was second at the 2025 championships, giving the Cowgirls a lethal 1-2 combo at the top of the leaderboard.
The women's 6K kicks off action at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships at 11:00 a.m. CT, with the men's 8K immediately following at 12:00 p.m. Awards will follow the conclusion of the men's 8K. Live results for the meet can be found here.
