OSU is well known for peaking at the right time. Look at where they have been ranked going into nationals and where they have finished in comparison to that rank. They definitely wanted to win this meet but I doubt they have changed their training from the past few years.
OSU beat Arkansas. Take it as it is.
Arkansas has been consistently good over the years, and this year doesn't look too different. (although where's Strang? I saw him with Arkansas during indoor last year, and I thought he transferred). OSU is a good team, but so is Arkansas. any debate we've got about who's better will be settled in Terra Haute.
but man, OSU is legit this year. what has Weiss done to them this year?
Dave Smith is the head cross-country coach, and has been for a while.
How great is it when you see a runner with the first name of Festus?

where is osu's top man from? he was flying!!!
ACU's website said Nicodemus tripped and turfed.
Naimadu's chances for victory dimmed when he tripped over a hurdle on the course and fell on his hip, putting him behind Kosgei. He rebounded with 200 meters to go to pull ahead, but Kosgei out-sprinted him over the final 70 meters to win the race by four seconds. However, the biggest news of the day for the Wildcats was the win over Arkansas, one of the perennial powers in cross country and track and field at the Division I level.
