Good morning Cowboys and Cowgirls. “This place. This community. There’s no where else like it. That’s why no one wants to leave.”

🔼 Doublin’ Down. A dominating weekend at the Cowboy Jamboree led the Orange and Black to sweeping the weekly Big 12 awards.

OSU runners Denis Kipngetich and Billah Jepkirui earned the accolades following their performances this past weekend.

Jepkirui dominated the race from wire-to-wire, defeating teammate Molly Born by 14 seconds with her time of 20:28.6. She also led the Cowgirls to a near-perfect score on the day with 16 points over a field led by Texas.

Kipngetich made it an individual sweep for OSU, winning the men's race by 20 seconds over teammate Brian Musau with his time of 23:21.5. In just his first career race, Kipngetich set the sixth-fastest 8K time in course and Jamboree history. His victory helped the Cowboys take down No. 13 Texas by six points overall.

This is the sixth time in program history the Cowboys and Cowgirls have swept the Big 12 Runner of the Week awards.

🔼 Home Away From Home. Starting 58 games for a team that played in the Women's College World Series and finished ranked No. 6 in the nation is an impressive feat for any freshman, but for Tallen Edwards, it was the expectation.

Now a sophomore, Edwards graduated from Southmoore High School a year early to join the Oklahoma State Softball team for the 2023 season.

Having played club softball under Rocky Thompson, one of the most decorated club softball coaches in the country, Edwards was equipped to take on the challenge of starting her collegiate career early.

Former Oklahoma State fullback, offensive lineman turned linebacker Cleveland Vann is one of just four players in school history to earn All-America honors at linebacker becoming the first to accomplish that feat in 1973.

Another accomplishment for Vann came at the end of this summer when he completed his degree at OSU fifty years after he left the campus entering the professional football world.

🤔 COWBOY TRIVIA

We Got Options. It’s no secret. The OSU futbol team can light up the scoreboard.

For most of the 2023 season, the Cowgirls have been ranked among the nation’s best in goals per game and their 34 total goals are currently tied for the fourth-most by any team in the country.

What’s even more dangerous about the Orange and Black is the amount of offensive options they’ve put on display.
