STILLWATER, Okla., - Oklahoma State's Mary Davies was named the Big 12 Conference Outdoor Performer of the Year in a vote by the league's coaches.
"(Mary) has brought great exposure to our track and field program," Cowgirl head coach Rene Sepulveda said. "We are proud to have her a part of our team and the university."
Davies, a junior from Whangarie, New Zealand won the award after capturing three conference titles (10,000-meter, 5,000-meter and 3,000-meter steeplechase) at last weekend's Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The talented distance runner became the first student-athlete in the history of the conference to claim victories in the three long distance events at the championships.
Davies and the Pokes will continue postseason action May 26-27, at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in Austin, Texas.
