SHAWNEE – After seeing eight different runners record a personal best en route to a 13th place finish at the
Arkansas Chile Pepper Festival, Oklahoma Baptist women's cross country will conclude the regular season when it takes part in the DBU Old Glory Gallop, hosted by Dallas Baptist University, on Saturday. Oct. 17 in Fort Worth, TX.
It will serve as the tune-up for the Great American Conference Championship meet, slated for Saturday, Nov. 7, in Shawnee. Two weeks ago the Bison had four runners finish in the top 100 of a loaded field, highlighted by
