OSU’s 53rd across all sports at the Panorama Farms Cross Country Course in Virginia on Nov. 18. The Cowboys now have five national championships in program history, with four coming under Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Dave Smith. The Cowboys put all five scorers in the top 15 for 49 points overall, besting defending champions Northern Arizona by 22 points. Their total score is the lowest winning score since 2005 (Wisconsin, 37). It also serves as the third-lowest point total on the men's side since 2000 and the 14th lowest since 1938, as well as being a program-best mark by 23 points. "I'm really, really proud of the way this program and the way they are," Smith said. "A lot of things went right, and a lot of hard work was done by these guys. Just belief in themselves, staying calm and staying poised as the season went on and we're seeing great results.” The Cowboys have won five team championships: 2023, 2012, 2010, 2009 and 1954.
