LAWRENCE, Kan. – Oklahoma City University placed four runners in the top-30 in its first appearance in the NAIA Championships and claimed the program's first NAIA cross country title Saturday at Rim Rock Farm.
The Stars, ranked No. 5 in NAIA men's cross country, completed the eight-kilometer race with 77 team points and finished 47 points ahead of top-ranked Southern Oregon and 80 points ahead of 2012 champion St. Francis (Ill.). Sophomores Arya Bahreini and Peter Koskey along with freshmen Chris Lowery and Mackenzie Wahpepah-Harris finished in the top-30 individually and earned all-American status.
"The men won in very dominating fashion I thought," OCU coach Conor Holt said. "We had four guys finish in the top-30 and make all-American and we just had a really good performance. They really listened to the race plan and it just goes to show that everyone has really bought in to what we are trying to do here."
Koskey, of Keringet, Kenya, finished eighth overall with a time of 24 minutes and 47 seconds. The sophomore finished 45 seconds behind individual champion Eric Avila of Southern Oregon.
Bahreini, of Edmond, Okla., finished 11th overall with a time of 24:50. The sophomore finished 37th while competing as an individual at the NAIA championships a year ago.
