Please post men and womens results
Josephat Boit won the University men's race, in front of Alistair Cragg, and Shawn Forrest. Arkansas easily ran away with the men's team in the University Men's with Cormier in the top 10 along with another Hog. OSU men's team didn't do very well. OK State's women's team I am pretty sure won the Women's University rather easily.
Angelo State won both the men's and women's titles in the smaller college/university divisions. Two Wayland Baptist (TX) runners went one, two in that men's race and I think an Angelo State girl won the women's college race.
Just got home, times for some races were on average of about 45 seconds slower from last year. Lots of rain had water standing on the course in some spots as deep as runners' knees. The hills (which there are plenty of STEEP ones) were very muddy and slow. If the course had been dry and the temperature stayed the same, it would of been a blazing fast day.
Alistair Cragg, isn't he kinda old???
running for his company, i'm not sure who he runs for...Reebok?
adidas
OSU did really, really bad!
I wonder if they have the level to go to national this year. Even their two best runner are .....

Junior Joe Gray led the Cowboys at the 69th annual Jamboree.
STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State men’s cross country team finish third at the 69th annual Cowboy Jamboree on Saturday.
Led by junior Joseph Gray, the Cowboys finished three runners in the top-25 and claimed third-place honors behind first-place Arkansas and second-place Abilene Christian at the Oklahoma State Cross Country Course.
Gray finished with a time of 25:43 to finish ninth overall in the 8k race. Redshirt freshman Matt Barnes-Smith finished 11th with a time of 25:49 and senior Sean McCabe finished 23rd with a time of 26:18. Ryan Birkholz, the highly touted freshman from Burlington, Wisc., finished 32nd with a time of 26:39 and junior David Pomies’ time of 26:40 was good for a 34th-place finish. Sophomore Alejandro Ruiz and freshman Montana Keller rounded out the Cowboy runners. Ruiz finished 36th and Keller finished 114th.
“I feel really good about the day,” said Cowboy assistant coach Dave Smith. ”We wanted to come out here and run conservative and I think the guys stuck with the plan and ran a very good race overall.”
Running unattached, Cowboy new comers Mike Devenport and Peter Doroshuk made strong showings. Devenport, a senior transfer from Portland State finished with a time of 25:57 while the freshman Doroshuk finished with a time of 26:39. Freshman Daniel Watts finished with a time of 27:04.
Arkansas’ Joseph Boit claimed his second straight first-place finish at the Jamboree. The Eldoret, Kenya native finished with a time of 24:33. Arkansas was ranked No. 2 in this week’s national rankings.
looks to me like Oklahoma State ran it conservatively. Word is they ran the first 5k at tempo pace, so I wouldn't hold too much stock in that third place finish.
With the course in the condition it was in, I doubt OSU used it as a tempo session. Times were severly bogged down across the board, so everyone looks like they ran conservatively. If they were looking for a tempo session they should have taken to the roads and off the cross course. Maybe they just aren't mudders.
I am sure they let their slowest runners having fun on the front and their best guys resting on the back. Some of them looked really easy, two of them were even talking in one of the hills around the 4 miles.
