OSU cross country coach Dave Smith looking for ways to have a fall season without an NCAA championship

STILLWATER — An NCAA championship cross country meet won’t be run on Oklahoma State’s course Nov. 21.

But a race will be run there that day. Just how big a race it is, that’s yet to be known.

With programs and conferences canceling fall sports because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA called off all non-football fall championships on Thursday.

But by Friday morning when he sat down for a Zoom call with reporters, Oklahoma State cross country coach Dave Smith had already been contacted by several programs in the Southeastern and Atlantic Coast conferences about racing on the OSU course in late November.
