Three Oklahoma State runners set personal records at the Washington Husky Classic on Saturday capping a busy weekend for the Cowboy track team.
Senior Sean McCabe finished with a personal best time of 4:04.14 in the one-mile run. That time was good for 17th place in the event. Also in that event, Cowboy junior Ryan Ripley finished 48th with a time of 4:15.06.
Two other Cowboys recorded personal best times at the Husky Classic. Sophomore Ryan Vail and junior David Pomies recorded personal records in the 3000-meter run. Vail led the Pokes in the event, finishing sixth with a time of 8:03.34. Pomies' time of 8:04.46 was good for eighth place. Cowboy junior David Jankowski finished ninth with a time of 8:04.68 while freshman Daniel Watts and junior Brian Ehlis finished 17th and 30th, respectively.
"As a group, this is probably the best meet we have ever run," said Cowboy assistant coach Dave Smith. "I feel like we have some guys who are running well enough to challenge for some top spots in the conference."
On Friday, other members of the team were in Fayetteville, Ark., competing in the Arkansas Tyson Invitational.
At that meet, junior Daniel McLemore finished 29th in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.91 and junior Terry Josserand finished 33rd in the 400-meter run with a time of 49.01.
Meanwhile, junior Ryan Ripley and freshman Peter Doroshuk finished 25th and 26th, respectively in the one-mile run. Ripley finished with a time of 4:32.66 and Doroshuk finished with a time of 4:32.66.
The Cowboys will now prepare to compete in the Sooner Indoor meet next weekend in Norman, Okla. The meet will be hosted by OU.
