📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Eye On The Prize. With only a few weeks left on the spring ball schedule, the Cowboys are putting the final touches on the preparation season going into summer camp and an important fall ahead.

On Tuesday, the Cowboys chatted about their work this spring and how they are getting ready for the 2024 season.

🔺 Rare Air. When you have programs with the tradition that the OSU track & field programs have, accomplishing rare feats is something special.

That’s what happened this week as both the Cowboys and Cowgirls cracked the top-15 in the latest USTFCCCA national poll. The men sit at #11, while the women’s squad is slotted at #14.

This is just the second time both the Cowboys and Cowgirls are ranked inside the top 15 overall during the outdoor season, the first being during weeks 1-3 of the 2015 season. The Cowboys' ranking is also the highest for the program since 2014, when they finished the regular season ranked No. 8. The Cowgirls are back in the top 25 outdoors for just the second time in the regular season since 2016.

🎥 A LEGENDARY SENDOFF

This was much more than a press conference.

It was a chance to truly honor a man that has meant so much to so many people in Stillwater and far beyond.

Go behind-the-scenes of today’s press conference and hear from so many around the OSU Athletics world about what Coach Smith has meant to them.

🎥 GOING ON THE INSIDE

Redshirt junior CB Kale Smith is entering his fourth season in Stillwater looking to make an impact for the 2024 Cowboys.
