2013 OKLAHOMA STATE CROSS COUNTRY/TRACK AND FIELD GUIDE
MEN’S 2013 SEASON PREVIEW Cross Country Key Points -- OSU has won three of the last four NCAA Cross Country Championships -- OSU returns three of its All-Americans from a year ago (Tom Farrell, Shadrack Kipchirchir, Joseph Manilafasha) -- OSU enters the season as the No. 1 team in the country, according to the USTFCCCA Preseason Poll OSU Cross Country doesn’t rebuild, it reloads. OSU is gunning for a remarkable fourth national championship in five years and sixth-straight Big 12 title, and it has the personnel to do it. The Cowboys lost some talent from the 2012 NCAA Championship squad, but still return three All-Americans and five core performers from last year’s team, plus a crop of exciting transfers and underclassmen ready to contribute. “It’s an exciting time,” OSU coach Dave Smith said. “We lost some talent, but also gained some depth. I don’t know who will be in our final seven. We have 15 or 16 guys who I think can fill those seven roles. It’s going to be great competition between them.” It’s this returning talent that caught the eye of the USTFCCCA voters, who voted OSU the No. 1 men’s team in the country in their preseason poll. “Well, it’s nice to be recognized,” Smith said. “It shows that work we’ve done in the past few years hasn’t gone unnoticed. People are respecting our program and seeing us as a team that will contend for national championships. On the other hand, it’s just a ranking, and the last five preseason No. 1’s didn’t win the title, including us in 2011. It’s good recognition, but we have a lot of work to do.” Here is some information on the key OSU contributors: Tom Farrell: Three-time cross country All-American (2010, 2011, 2012). Farrell took ninth at the 2012 NCAA Championships, for the third All-american honor of his career. Finished fourth at the 2012 Big 12 Championships. Shadrack Kipchirchir: Finished in 18th place at the 2012 NCAA Championships to earn the second All-American honor of his career (2010; Western Kentucky). Took third place at the 2012 Big 12 Championships and won the 2012 Cowboy Jamboree. Joseph Manilafasha: Finished in 24th at the 2012 NCAA Championships, earning his first All-American honor. Also an All-Big 12 and All-Midwest Region honoree. Shane Moskowitz: Finished in the top-10 at both the Big 12 Championships (eighth) and the Midwest Regional
@OSUATHLETICS | @RUN4OKSTATE | #OKSTATE
(seventh). Took 53rd at the 2012 NCAA Championships, just missing out on All-American status. Kirubel Erassa: Earned All-Big 12 honors after placing seventh at the conference meet. Placed third at the Chile Pepper Festival, ninth at the Cowboy Jamboree and 102nd at the NCAA Championships. Outside of those five, here’s a few Cowboys who could crack the top seven by November: Craig Nowak: Junior 8k national champion at the U.S. Cross Country Championships in 24:47. Placed 26th at the conference meet in 24:43.2 and 28th at the NCAA Midwest Regional in 31:06.22 as a true freshman. Brian Gohlke: Placed 20th at the regional meet in 30:50.25, and was 28th at the Big 12 meet in 24:44.6, just missing out on All-Big 12 honors. Chad Noelle: Competed in the Pac-12 Championships for Oregon, running the 8,000 meters in 25:24. 2012 NCAA qualifier in the outdoor 1,500 meters. Luis Martinez: Eight-time New Mexico high school state champion: (three cross country, three 3,200 meters and two 1,600 meter titles) ... Third place at the 2012 Nike cross country nationals ... 2011 Nike cross country southwest champion. With Smith’s proven method for success and a talented roster, there’s good reason to think the Cowboys will be in position for a shot at another NCAA title.
Track And Field Key Points -- Nick Miller returns, having finshed in the NCAA top 10 in both the indoor weight throw and outooor hammer throw in 2012. -- OSU returns All-Americans Nick Miller, Kirubel Erassa, Tom Farrell, Tyler Payton and Shadrack Kipchirchir -- OSU has a brand-new multimillion dollar track and field facility, which will be used in the 2013 season. It wasn’t just a big year in cross country in 2012, OSU found success on the track as well. On the indoor track, the OSU men placed eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships for their third-highest team finish in school history and the highest since 1984. Looking from the perspective of individual success, seven different Cowboys combined for nine All-America honors. Sophomore Nick Miller became the first Oklahoma State thrower ever to win a Big 12 indoor title and the first OSU
thrower ever to earn indoor All-America recognition and both Shadrack Kipchirchir and Miller set school records. Kipchirchir’s 13:38.57 in the 5,000 meters topped Colby Lowe’s previous school-best 13:45.01 from 2010 and Miller just breaks his own school records at this point. Miller didn’t just impress in the indoor season, he kept the momentum rolling to the outdoor season. Miller was the most consistent and dominant hammer thrower in 2012. He broke the 70-meter barrier more than the rest of the nation combined (five times), and had the top mark in the NCAA. He also broke his own school record four times on his way to finishing ninth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. OSU throws coach John Baumann said Miller isn’t close to being done. “I think he can improve on both marks and performances from last year,” Baumann said. “He has a great opportunity in front of him. He has a chance to better both his indoor and outdoor marks at the NCAA meet. For a guy who is already an All-American in each, that’s pretty special.” Returning with Miller are indoor and outdoor All-Americans Kirubel Erassa and Tom Farrell. Erassa put together a huge indoor season, which culminated in him taking third place in the 3,000 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships. He was step for step with winner Lawi Lalang before having his jersey tugged on by an opponent, who was disqualified. Erassa took home another All-American honor when he placed ninth in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Erassa also led a 1-2-3 Cowboy finish in the 5,000 meters at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships. Tom Farrell had a successful indoor season, which ended in a 14th-place finish in the 3,000 meters, and a sixth place finish in the distance medley relay at the NCAA Intdoor Championships. He is one of three Cowboy returners (Erassa, Shane Moskowitz) who were part of a quartet of Cowboys to run a sub-four minute mile at the Razorback Invite. Farrell just missed out on qualifying for the NCAA final in the outdoor 5,000 meters. Overall, the Cowboys return six of their All-America honors this season. The Cowboys are out to prove they are more than just a cross country school. There’s no quicker way to do that than to earn a top-10 national finish in the indoor season, and collect multiple All-america honors in the outdoor season. Not only that, but the Cowboys have a brand new outdoor track and field facility. With lots of returning talent and a new track on which to practice, the Cowboys are ready to prove themselves again.

Dave Smith is truly at the top of his profession, and is only getting better. The Oklahoma State head coach was honored as the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Men’s Division I Cross Country National Coach of the Year in 2009, 2010 and again in 2012. That is the highest honor awarded to a cross country coach. He was voted by his peers as Big 12 Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. He led OSU to three NCAA team cross country championships in four years (2009,2010, 2012) to go with five straight Big 12 team titles from 2008-12 and has coached three different Cowboy runners to four Big 12 cross country individual championships. Oklahoma State has finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Cross Country Championships every year under Smith. Additionally, the Pokes placed in the top 25 at the 2009 outdoor track and field meet for the first time since 1985 in his first year as head track and field coach. Smith also led the Pokes to an eighth-place finish at the 2013 NCAA indoor championships--OSU’s highest finish since 1984.
Smith has coached 69 All-Americans and 53 Big 12 champions. While at OSU, he has coached 42 Big 12 champions and 181 All-Big 12 performers. Smith has coached OSU athletes to 52 different All-America honors since 2007 alone. To put that figure into perspective, Oklahoma State had only 13 total All-Americans from 2000-06. German Fernandez won the 2009 NCAA title in the 1,500 meters and was the Big 12 individual cross country champion in both 2008 and 2011. He swept all of the Big 12’s major awards as a freshman, claiming the conference’s male athlete of the year honors during both the indoor and outdoor seasons to go with his 2008 cross country crown. Ryan Vail was the 2009 Big 12 individual cross country champion and was a five-time All-American under Smith. John Kosgei was the 2010 NCAA runner-up in the 10,000 meters and was honored as the 2010 Big 12 Outdoor Performer of the Year after winning the 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters at the conference meet. Girma Mecheso won the 2010 Big 12 individual cross country title and was one of five cross country All-Americans coached by Smith in 2010. The list goes on and on.
The 2013 outdoor season produced more success under Smith, as Natalja Piliusina won the NCAA Outdoor Women’s 1,500 meters, delivering Smith’s fourth individual NCAA title.

That success has rolled over into the classroom as well. In addition to winning the NCAA cross country title in both 2009 and 2012, Smith’s Cowboys were honored as the USTFCCCA Scholar Team of the Year for their excellence in the classroom both seasons. Every year under Smith’s watch, Oklahoma State cross country has been recognized as an all-academic team by the USTFCCCA and in 2013, the OSU track and field teams combined for 12 USTFCCCA All-Academic individuals, and both the men’s and women’s teams had the highest GPA’s in the Big 12. Ryan Vail was an ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-American in both 2008 and 2009 to become the first repeat Academic All-American in OSU track history. Smith arrived in Stillwater in 2002 and served as an assistant coach under Dick Weis for four years before being elevated to head men’s cross country coach in 2006. Upon Weis’ retirement following the 2008 cross country season, Smith was promoted to head men’s track coach and in the summer of 2009, Smith assumed control of both the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs under the title of director of cross country and track and field. Having placed 10th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in 2006, third in 2007 and eighth in 2008, the
@OSUATHLETICS | @RUN4OKSTATE | #OKSTATE
Cowboys entered the 2009 cross country season as a proven commodity and were considered a possible threat to reigning NCAA champion Oregon and traditional power Stanford. OSU spent the entire season ranked in the top five nationally, but was not ranked No. 1 at any point during the campaign. However, the Pokes toppled Oregon by 16 points at the NCAA Championships and overwhelmed top-ranked Stanford by a whopping 227 points to put an exclamation point on their NCAA title season. Smith’s strategy going into the race was to let his senior captain Vail lead the way. Through the first 3,000 meters, OSU was in third place, six points ahead of the Cardinal. At the midway point, OSU created some separation between itself and the rest of the field, with Vail leading the posse of Cowboy runners. Through 8,000 meters, OSU held a comfortable lead over second-place Oregon. From that point, the Pokes made their final surge to seal the victory.

It was a different refrain in 2010, as the distance-running community had already developed a familiarity with Oklahoma State as the top dog. That said, Smith and the Cowboys still managed to turn heads by destroying the NCAA competition, racking up the fourth-largest margin of victory in the history of the NCAA Championships in defeating the field by a whopping 120 points. All five Oklahoma State scorers earned All-America recognition at the 2010 NCAA Cross Country Championships, led by the trio of Mecheso, Fernandez and Lowe, who finished seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively. Tom Farrell was 29th and Johnathan Stublaski was 36th. Perhaps the scariest part of the Cowboys’ domination of the 2010 NCAA Championships is the fact that Smith actually utilized a conservative strategy in dropping Farrell back in the field. Farrell had run side-by-side with Mecheso, Fernandez and Lowe during the season, but Smith’s NCAA strategy was to have Farrell stay back in the field and then make his move at the end in a manner that would help the team in case any other squad threatened. In 2012, OSU went back and forth with Wisconsin all year at the No. 1 and No. 2 national rankings. The Cowboys took the No. 1 ranking to the NCAA meet, and ran like it, decimating the competition and winning the national title by 63 points over second-place Wisconsin. It was OSU’s third team NCAA title in four years. Tom Farrell, Shadrack Kipchirchir, Girma Mecheso and Joseph Manilafasha took home All-America honors. During the 2009 outdoor season – Smith’s first as head coach – the Cowboys placed 25th in the final team standings and Fernandez won the 1,500 meter title. OSU’s team finish was the best for a Cowboy team in 24 years and Fernandez became the Pokes’ first NCAA champion since Paul Larkins in 1986. Additionally, Vail earned All-America honors in the 5,000 meters.
Under Smith’s watch, the Oklahoma State women’s cross country team placed fourth at the 2010 Big 12 Championships and was 17th at the 2010 NCAA Championships. Both of those showings were the best for the Cowgirls since 2005. Smith came to Stillwater from Texas Tech, where he was the head men’s and women’s cross country coach, as well as assistant track coach from 1998-2002. Prior to his stint at Tech, Smith was a volunteer assistant coach for the University of Washington track and cross country programs from 1997-1998. He was also the head coach of Club Northwest women’s cross country and track those same years. Athletes that Smith coached prior to his arrival at Oklahoma State won two NCAA Championships, 10 AllAmerican awards, 11 Big 12 Championships, and a World University Games gold medal. While competing collegiately at Michigan State, Smith was the Big Ten Conference champion in the 10,000m in 1993 and placed second in the 1,500m that season. He earned All-Big Ten honors four times in cross country and track during his career. Was also an 11-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and three-time Academic All-America selection. Smith also won the Big Ten Conference Medal of Honor in 1993. Smith graduated from Michigan State in 1993 with a degree in fisheries and wildlife, and continued his education at the University of Washington, where he earned a Ph.D. in pharmacology in 2000.
In the 2013 indoor season, OSU spent most of its time smashing school records. It started at the Razorback Invitational, when Farrell, Kirubel Erassa, Fabian Clarkson and Shane Moskowitz ran sub-four minute miles at the same meet, something that had never been done in NCAA history. It ended with the Cowboys taking eighth place at the NCAA meet, a feat that had not been accomplished since 1984. Seven Cowboys combined for nine All-America honors--the most in OSU indoor history. Since Smith took over the women’s program in 2009, he has already coached the Cowgirls to 13 All-America honors and 15 Big 12 championships, led by NCAA champion, seven-time All-American and eight-time Big 12 champion Natalja Piliusina. To put those numbers into perspective, the Oklahoma State women’s program had tallied five All-Americans and seven Big 12 champions from 2004-09.

The 2009 season saw Dietz secure all-Big 12 honors in the shot put both indoors and outdoors to go with a runner-up finish in the discus at the conference meet. She qualified for the NCAA Championships in the discus. Before his arrival in Stillwater, Baumann had a stellar career coaching the field events at Illinois, where he helped guide his student-athletes to school records in the hammer, discus and the weight throw.
JOHN BAUMANN THROWS // NINTH YEAR DOANE COLLEGE, 1990
Assistant coach John Baumann is in his ninth season as Oklahoma State’s throwing coach after spending six seasons at the University of Illinois. He also provides assistance in the sprints, jumps, and weight programs. Baumann was inducted into both the NAIA Hall of Fame and the Hall of Fame at his alma mater, Doane College in 2007. He coached sophomore Nick Miller to the 2013 Big 12 indoor weight throw title, as well as the 2013 outdoor hammer throw title, to go along with his 2012 titles in those events. Miller was a first-team All-American in the weight throw, finishing fourth at the NCAA Championships, and picked up his second-straight second-team All-American performance in the hammer, finishing ninth. Under Baumann’s guidance, Miller became Oklahoma State’s first-ever male thrower to earn All-America honors and first male hammer thrower to win a conference title since 1901. Miller set school records in both the indoor weight throw and the outdoor hammer throw. In 2011, Baumann oversaw Andrew Hudson setting a top 10 mark at OSU for discus throw, the first time a new top 10 had been set in the men’s event since 1983. In 2012, both Hudson (discus) and Miller (hammer throw) competed at the NCAA West Preliminary. Prior to the arrival of Hudson and Miller, Baumann spent nearly all of his time with the OSU women’s throwers after initially joining the Oklahoma State staff in the fall of 2005. Similar success has been achieved in women’s throws on Baumann’s watch, as out of Oklahoma State’s 60 available spots on the all-time top-10 lists of the six throwing events, 39 are occupied by marks made under Baumann (65 percent). In 2013, Caitlin Way was an All-Big 12 indoor performer, finishing seventh in the weight throw at the conference meet, and Chase Ealey just missed out on All-Big 12 honors, taking ninth in the shot put. In the outdoor season, both Way (hammer throw) and Ealey (shot put) qualified for the NCAA West preliminary in Austin, Texas. Way took fourth in the hammer at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships to sweep indoor and outdoor All-Big 12 honors. Ealey took sixth at the shot put, and fifth in the javelin after not throwing it since high school, to earn two All-Big 12 honors. During the 2008 outdoor season, both Merritt Dietz and LaKendra Greathouse competed in the shot put at the NCAA regional meet, with Dietz and Roman both competing in the discus at the regional meet and Kirkpatrick competing in the hammer throw at the regional meet.

In 2002, Baumann saw the Illini throwers develop into some of the top throwers in the Big 10 Conference. The throwers broke two school records as Baumann coached three Illini into provisional qualifiers for NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships. He then helped Gia Lewis set the school record in the 20-pound weight throw (62’0.5) on two occasions. During the outdoor season, Baumann coached Marie Hilmersson to an Illinois record in the hammer throw as she broke that mark by nearly 27 feet. Another of Baumann’s students, Adeoti Oshinowo, performed well during the outdoor season in the shot put as she became just the third Illinois athlete to top 50 feet in the event. Baumann has also been successful in coaching multievent athletes, where he coached Illini’s Jessica Bayne to an eighth-place finish in the heptathalon at the Big 10 Championships. Bayne scored a total of 4,724 points in one of the strongest fields in the meets history. In 2001, Baumann led Gia Lewis to a Big 10 title in the discus and a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, where she earned All-American honors. Baumann then watched Lewis set a school record in the discus. In 2000, Baumann helped Lewis train for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the discus. Baumann joined the Illini staff in February of 1998 after coaching at George Mason University, where he was the head strength coach for two years, along with serving as a volunteer assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s track and field teams. At George Mason, Baumann was able to build a strong field program, by developing a national qualifier in both the long jump and the shot put. Baumann then helped George Mason to the 1996 NCAA Men’s Indoor title, then helped the Patriots to a runner-up finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships that same year. Prior to his arrival at George Mason, Baumann was a member of Gary Wieneke’s Illinois men’s track and field staff from 1993-95. Baumann coached the throwers, and helped the Illini win the 1994 Outdoor Big Ten Championships and finish fourth at the 1995 NCAA Indoor Championships. During his coaching career, Baumann has coached two NCAA Champions, one NCAA runner-up, 77 All-Americans, and 57 individual conference champions. He also coached nine of the 1996 Olympic team members and helped Rob Mussio (USA) qualify for the Olympics. Baumann started his collegiate career at the University of Nebraska, where he redshirted in football and track. He
then transferred to Doane College in Crete, Neb., where he was a member of Doane’s football and track teams. He played four different positions in football and was a fouryear offensive starter. In track, he became a 10-time All-American for the Tigers in the shot put and discus. For four years he was Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NIAC) indoor and outdoor shot put champion and outdoor discus champion as well as the NAIA District 11 indoor/outdoor shot put champion. He also earned the outdoor District 11 discus champion title for three years. He was a key member of the team that became District 11 indoor champions. Baumann earned his B.S. in physical education from Doane in 1990. Baumann and his wife, Lisa, have three daughters, Catabrean, Holly and Sadie, and one son, Max.

Andrews’ triple jump mark of 13.11 meters/43-00.25 at the 2011 Big 12 Championships obliterated the previous school record of 12.89 meters/42-03.5. Pukstiene’s work with the Cowgirl jumpers has resulted in five of Oklahoma State’s all-time top seven indoor marks in the long jump and each of the top three indoor marks in the triple jump being set during her time in Stillwater. The success of Pukstiene’s pupils has also extended to the outdoor season, where five of the top eight marks in the long jump and five of OSU’s all-time top seven marks in the triple jump have been set since Pukstiene’s arrival. In 2009, Andrews and Baiba Blumbaha logged the two best outdoor long jump marks in school history at the Big 12 Championships and both went on to compete at the NCAA regional meet. Blumbaha then went on to suit up for the Cowgirls at the national meet. Pukstiene also had an impressive addition to her resume in 2011, as she coached men’s walk-on Taylor Buck to some of the best high jump performances in school history. Buck’s high jump of 2.14m/7-00.25 was the highest mark at Oklahoma State in decades and ranks third in school history. During her career at Oklahoma State, Pukstiene coached triple jumper Paula Ogunbanjo to a third-place finish at the 2004 Big 12 Indoor Championships and helped develop Ogunbanjo into an NCAA qualifier in 2005. Pukstiene also coached heptatahlete Tihana Sarac to a school record in 2005. Pukstiene attended Southern Methodist University after beginning her jumping career in her home country of Lithuania. Pukstiene not only set the school record in the triple jump for the Mustangs, but also represented SMU at the 2003 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Pukstiene placed ninth in the Indoor Championships, while claiming a 12th-place finish at the Outdoor Championships. Before attending SMU Pukstiene was Lithuania’s national champion in the triple jump in 2001 and 2003. She set the Lithuanian junior national record in the triple jump in the under-18, under-20 and under-23 divisions. Pukstiene is married to Mindaugas Pukstas. The couple has two children, Rokas (born in 2004) and Gabija (born in 2007).
Zivile Pukstiene is in her 11th year at Oklahoma State after joining the Cowgirl staff in 2003. She assists primarily in jumps and sprints. All of Oklahoma State’s outdoor women’s jumping records have been set under Pukstiene’s watch.

THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE - STRENGTH AND SUCCESS
The Big 12 enters its 18th year as it continues to promote the strength and success of one of the nation’s premier athletic conferences under the direction of second-year commissioner Bob Bowlsby. TCU and West Virginia joined the league on July 1, 2012 and became the Big 12’s first additions since inception, joining Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech. With 10 members, the Big 12 remains as the only major conference in the nation to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field of play with a full round-robin schedule. The Conference’s hard work ethic and strong values have translated to enormous success in its first 17 years. Since it began competition in 1996-97, the league can boast of 52 NCAA team titles and 537 individual national championships. The trophy case added more hardware in 2012-13 as Texas won the NCAA Championship in women’s volleyball and the Oklahoma State men’s cross country team captured its third national title in the last four seasons. Oklahoma State won the Western crown in equestrian while Oklahoma became one of just five programs to capture multiple national championships in softball. The year ended with Kansas hoisting its first NCAA trophy in women’s outdoor track and field. Additionally, the Big 12 picked up 20 individual national titles.
Several other sports also made strong national showings a year ago. Big 12 football sent a national-record 90 percent of its teams to bowl games. Women’s basketball claimed the top position in conference RPI for the sixth consecutive season and was the only league to place 80 percent of its teams in postseason play and 70 percent in the NCAA Championship. Baylor won the Big 12’s first men’s basketball NIT title. Kansas indoor track & field, Oklahoma women’s gymnastics and Oklahoma State wrestling finished as runner-up in their respective national championships. Additionally, Texas joined Oklahoma in the Softball College World Series while K-State and Oklahoma competed in baseball Super Regionals. Individually, Baylor center Brittney Griner earned consensus women’s basketball national player of the year for the second season. Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart was named National Freshman of the Year by two different outlets, while Jeff Withey of Kansas was selected the National Association of Basketball Coaches Defensive Player of the Year. Texas volleyball head coach Jerritt Elliott received American Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of the Year honors. Oklahoma pitcher Keilani Ricketts repeated as the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, giving the Big 12 two of the three all-time multiple winners as former Texas player Cat Osterman earned the award three times. Ricketts also claimed the Honda Award for softball for the second consecutive season. Kansas track & field head coach Stanley Redwine and assistant coach Wayne Pate each earned national accolades as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross
Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) awarded the two with outdoor coach of the year honors. The Big 12 lays claim to five Heisman Trophy winners since 1996 and has had a finalist in 12 of its 17 seasons – the most of any league. Seventeen athletes have earned major individual awards in football in the past five campaigns. Overall, more than 1,400 student-athletes have earned All-America recognition in the past five years alone. Through its first 17 years, the Big 12 has claimed a team national championship in 16 of the sports it sponsors. The Conference ranks second with seven appearances in the BCS National Championship Game and is second with 96 football consensus All-America selections in that time. League squads combined to lead the nation in women’s basketball attendance 13 consecutive years and the Big 12 is the only conference to surpass the one-million mark in season attendance – doing so six times. In men’s basketball, the league is the only conference in the nation where every coach has guided a team to the NCAA Tournament, including six coaches that have led teams to the Final Four. During the last nine years a total of 31 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including 16 consecutive seasons.
2013 OKLAHOMA STATE CROSS COUNTRY/TRACK AND FIELD GUIDE
THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE - STRENGTH AND SUCCESS The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. National academic accolades have always been strong in the Big 12. Danielle Robinson (Oklahoma) and Sam Acho (Texas) were selected to receive Today’s Top VIII Awards – one of the NCAA’s top honors. It recognizes student-athletes who completed their athletic eligibility during 2010-11 for success on the fields and courts, in the classroom and in the community. In the last two seasons, three studentathletes were recipients of the NCAA Elite 89 Award. That honor showcases individuals who have reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level, while also achieving the highest academic standard among their peers. In its short history, the Big 12 has had 537 Academic AllAmerica recipients, averaging more than 30 each season. Big 12 student-athletes have shown commitment to their studies by earning numerous individual academic recognitions. Nine times in the past eight years a league athlete has garnered the top academic honor for their respective sport. The Big 12 had plenty of success overall in the classroom the last four years, as the Conference boasted 80 student-athletes earning Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition through the fall of 2012.
The Big 12 can take pride in other stories that combine on and off the field success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-America honors at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Oklahoma State women’s basketball was the inaugural recipient of the “Together We R” Team Award in 2012, recognizing programs that have strived to succeed in the face of adversity. Following a devastating tornado south of Oklahoma City just before the Big 12 Baseball Championship in 2013, several league baseball teams along with other student-athletes, coaches and former Conference players contributed help in a variety of ways. Plus, the Conference contributed $200,000 to the relief efforts. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships. A total of 313 scholars have received near $2.2 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 17 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 23 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball. Big 12 institutions create a league that encompasses five states and nearly 37 million people. More than 4,200 student-athletes from across the United States and around the World compete annually in the sports sponsored by the Conference.

2012 CROSS COUNTRY SEASON RECAP
Cowboys Are NCAA Champs...Again!
Oklahoma State captures third national championship in four years, fifth straight Big 12 crown, is named national scholar team of the year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Entering the 2012 cross country season, question marks were everywhere for Oklahoma State and coach Dave Smith. With the loss of three proven stars in German Fernandez, Colby Lowe and Johnathan Stublaski, Smith was faced with the task of replacing the core of two previous OSU NCAA championship teams. “I was worried about losing German, Colby and Johnathan - three All-Americans,” Smith said. “I was thinking, ‘How do we replace this and become a better team without those guys?’ I knew that we had the talent on the team; I knew the guys could do it, physically, but it’s a hard thing to do. I think you have to be committed for a year and to have that focus and that drive for an entire year, and that’s hard to get.”

2012 CROSS COUNTRY SEASON RECAP Not only were the Cowboys dealing with the loss of three All-Americans, they also started the season without Tom Farrell, another All-American from last season. “The only injury we really had on the men’s team in our top eight or nine guys was Tom, which was a big one,” said Smith. “Tom is exceptionally talented and he’s performed extremely well. Once you’ve been to that level, it’s not very hard to get back. It doesn’t take much running to get back to that level that you’ve previously achieved.” However, it wasn’t long before Smith realized that the Cowboys could possibly reclaim the national championship. After winning the Hurricane Festival, 5-0, the Cowboys went on to the capture the team titles at the Cowboy Jamboree and the Chile Pepper Invitational, respectively. “I really liked what I saw at the Jamboree out of Joe Manilafasha, Craig Nowak and Brian Gohlke,” said Smith. Guys like that ran some really good races and made me think, ‘We might have some depth that I wasn’t sure we had’.” After the team's success early in the season, Smith had time to assess his roster and see where the Cowboys stood going into the Big 12 Championships in Austin. Going for their fifth-straight conference title, Smith still had some concern when it came to his top seven. “We still had a lot of unanswered questions at that point,” said Smith. “How good is Shane Moskowitz? How good is Kirubel Erassa? How good is Brian Gohlke?” At the end of the race, the Cowboys were Big 12 champions by a comfortable margin once again, earning 24 points - 32 points ahead of second-place Texas.
The Pokes also took five of the top eight spots on the individual leaderboard, with Girma Mecheso leading the way by finishing second with a time of 23:58.1. Shadrack Kipchirchir (23:58.5) was third and Farrell (24:00.6) fourth. Erassa (24:06.0) finished in seventh place and Moskowitz (24:06.2) was eighth. By finishing in the top 15 at the conference meet, each earned a spot on the All-Big 12 team. “Those guys ran really well at Big 12s,” said Smith. “I think Kirubel and Shane had fantastic races there and asserted themselves. There’s going to be a changing of the guard, and those two guys are going to be in control of the Big 12 going forward.” Up next on the road to the championships was the NCAA Midwest Regional in Springfield, Mo. The Cowboys, ranked No. 1 in the region all season, were primed to take one of the top two spots to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. However, things didn’t go as planned. “We took some calculated risks and decided not to run two of our top five,” said Smith when asked about the Midwest Regional. “It almost ended up being a coaching disaster.” The Cowboys bareley clinched a spot, tying with Oklahoma for first with 45 points, just holding off third-place Tulsa, which earned 47 points. “You have the best team in the country that almost didn’t make the national championships,” said Smith.

In the end, Mecheso led the Pokes once again with a second-place finish in 30:26.39. Farrell (30:29.06) and Moskowitz (30:30.21) finished in fourth and seventh place, respectively. Gohlke stepped up and came through for the Cowboys, finishing 20th with a time of 30:50.25. “It came down to the last 400 meters,” said Smith. “Clarkson was in 12th or 13th place, and over the last 400, he struggled and faded to 29th or 30th. Fortunately, Gohlke stepped up and covered that for us and got us through.”

Mecheso and Farrell ran with the top-10 for the entire race with Kipchirchir and Manilafasha providing strong support by staying with the top 25 from early on.
Also running his best time of the season, Farrell finished in ninth place at 29:26.3. Kipchirchir (29:43.0) and Manilafasha (29:48.8) placed 18th and 24th, respectively. Kipchirchir and Manilafasha also turned in their respective seasonbest times. All three runners earned their best finish at the national championships. By finishing in the top 40, Mecheso, Farrell, Kipchirchir and Manilafasha all earned All-American honors and made the Cowboys a very difficult team to beat when it mattered most.
“When they came through the halfway point, with four in the top 25 at that point, I thought we were really in command of the race,” said Smith when asked the moment he realized they would reclaim the national championship. “More importantly, those four guys looked like they weren’t pressing. They were in the positions we told them to be in. They were running in the groups we told them to run in, and they weren’t struggling to hang on. They looked under control.” Moskowitz, running in his first national championship race, capped the Cowboys’ scoring five by placing a very respectable 53rd in 30:22.6 to slam the door on any teams with hopes of beating the Pokes. Erassa (30:44.8) and Fabian Clarkson (31:15.2) rounded out the OSU seven by finishing 102nd and 164th, respectively. “Guys did some pretty special things,” said Smith. “Joe’s best finish before this was 66th, and now he’s 24th and an All-American. That’s a huge improvement for Joe. And Shane, who had never been on a national team, came in and finished 53rd on his first try? That’s a home run.” By the end of the season, along with All-American, All-Big 12 and All- Midwest honors, the Cowboys also had 13 members named Academic All-Big 12, the most in the Big 12. Smith was also honored as the USTFCCCA Men’s National Coach of the Year and Men’s Big 12 Coach of the year. Through injury, adversity and close calls, the 2012 cross country team finished on top once again.

Cowboys Place Eighth At NCAA Indoor Championships, Score Most Points Ever At Big 12 Championships Seven different Cowboys combine for nine All-America honors, Nick Miller wins Big 12 title in the weight throw.
A consistent theme has surfaced over and over in recent years - history is being written now for the Oklahoma State cross country/track and field program. Take the indoor portion of the 2013 schedule for example. The Cowboys placed eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships for their third-highest team finish in school history and the highest since 1984. OSU’s 73 points scored at the Big 12 Indoor Championships was its highest point total at the conference meet during the Big 12 era and the second-highest total in school history, trailing only the 79 points scored by the Cowboys at the 1982 Big Eight Indoor Championships. Looking from the perspective of individual success, seven different Cowboys combined for nine All-America honors. Sophomore Nick Miller became the first Oklahoma State thrower ever to win a Big 12 indoor title and the first OSU thrower ever to earn indoor All-America recognition and both Shadrack Kipchirchir and Miller set school records. Kipchirchir’s 13:38.57 in the 5,000 meters topped Colby Lowe’s previous school-best 13:45.01 from 2010 and Miller just breaks his own school records at this point.
“It was unbelievable and really impressive,” Smith said after the race. “Tom Farrell did all the work and everyone else let him set the pace. I’m really proud of Tom, he did a great job as did the rest of those guys under four minutes. That four under four minutes in the same day was great. We have five sub-four guys on our team and I don’t think there is a team in the country that can compete with that.” At the Big 12 Championships, 14 different Cowboys combined to earn 17 All-Big 12 honors to pace a historic team showing. While Miller was the leader of the day by securing OSU’s first-ever Big 12 title in a throwing event indoors, there were several other notable performances. Raul Botezan was the conference runner-up in the 1,000 meters, Erassa took second in the mile, Kipchirchir was second in the 3,000 meters and Girma Mecheso was second in the 5,000 meters. The distance medley relay team of Justin Vilhauer, Lance Gray, Tyler Payton and Fabian Clarkson took sixth.
The team’s showing at the NCAA indoor meet represented a highlight not just for the 2013 season, but also in the history of the program. “All the guys knew we had the chance to do something we hadn’t done in a long time - we talked about it all season,” Coach Dave Smith said immediately after the NCAA meet wrapped up. “To have three guys get personal bests in a championship setting is unbelievable. They competed so hard. It’s rare for one person to achieve something like that and we had three today. I’m really proud of the way they competed.” The Cowboys made waves nationally at the Razorback Invitational when four - yes four - different OSU runners ran the mile faster than four minutes. Tom Farrell clocked a 3:58.20, Kirubel Erassa a 3:58.24, Fabian Clarkson a 3:59.47 and Shane Moskowitz a 3:59.48. A check with the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s records showed that was an NCAA first.

Cowboys Get Four All-America Honors, Two Finish With Top Marks In NCAA
Four Cowboys combine for four All-America honors, Erassa and Miller win Big 12 titles, Miller wins NCAA West Preliminary as well.
After a NCAA cross country title and a top-10 finish in indoor track and field, the Cowboys finished off an impressive trio of performances at the NCAA Outdooor Track and field Championships. OSU’s five All-America honors were the most without a relay in school history. Although Girma Mecheso’s seventh-place finish in the 10,000 meters produced the only OSU team points, there’s plenty to be excited about in the future.
At the Big 12 outdoor meet, 10 Cowboys picked up All-Big 12 honors, with seven being top-five finishes. OSU’s eighth-place finish at the conference meet tied its highest finish in the Big 12 since the conference’s inception in 1996. The 56 team points were the most for the Cowboys since 1986.
Nick Miller placed ninth in the hammer throw, but he was the most consistent and dominant hammer thrower in the country during the season. He broke the 70-meter barrier more than the rest of the nation combined (five times), and had the top mark in the NCAA. “Overall, like Natalja last year, Nick Miller will learn from what happened (at the NCAA Championships),” OSU coach Dave Smith said. “He was the favorite and had to face the pressure. Nick will learn just like Natalja did, how to emotionally prepare to win, and he will be back. We will be better as a team because of it. Nick was great all year, and I still think he is the best hammer thrower in the NCAA.” Miller, who was a sophomore, broke his own school record in the event four times during the season, and was the firstever OSU field athlete to win Big 12 Track & Field Athlete of the Week. Kirubel Erassa had a breakout 2013 indoor season, and the momentum carried into the outdoor season. At the Mt. SAC Relays, he started the season with a bang. He ran the 1,500 meters in a personal-best 3:42.76. At the Big 12 Outdoor Championships, Erassa led a trio of Cowboys who took first, second and third place in the 5,000 meters. Erassa won his first Big 12 title with a time of 13:53.53. He went on to automatically qualify for the 5,000 NCAA final with a second-place finish in his heat at the NCAA West Preliminary. His ninth-place finish at the outdoor championships is a sign of things to come. “This was his first time at outdoor nationals and he told me he was going to go for it,” Smith said after the race. “It backfired a little bit, and I wish he would have been more conservative, but I’ll never fault a guy for aiming high. You want a guy who will go down swinging. That’s who he is.”
