🔼 Freaky Fast Fouad. In the final few weeks of his collegiate career, Fouad Messaoudi is making every race count.

Taking the track at the Arkansas Twilight in Fayetteville, Messaoudi closed out his illustrious regular season career as a Cowboy in dominant fashion with a first place finish in the 1,500 Meters. Messaoudi posted a blazing time of 3:34.34, breaking his own school record by nearly a second. Additionally, this mark is a new Arkansas Twilight meet record and John McDonnell Field facility record, which stood for nearly 37 years. 

Alex Stitt (2nd Place) and Ryan Schoppe (4th Place) joined Messaoudi in etching their names in the Cowboy record books for the 1,500 Meters, with Stitt's 3:36.33 mark good for second best all time and Schoppe's time of 3:37.18 good for third best.

He is the first man in program history to be named National Athlete of the Week outdoors and is the seventh Cowboy overall to receive national weekly honors, with the previous six below:

🔼 One Down, Two To Go. 18 holes down, 36 to play.

Today is what they call moving day as the second ranked OSU men’s golf squad opened NCAA Regional action on Monday, firing a 286 total to stand alone in seventh place.

The second-ranked Cowboys' 2-over tally put them one shot behind Marquette and Long Beach State for fifth place.

Gaven Lane led OSU's starting five with a 69 to share sixth place. The sophomore opened with a birdie at the first before making the turn at even par 36. He birdied the 11th and 12th before carding six pars in a row to close out his round.
