The Big 12 Conference and FloSports announce the expansion of the live stream partnership to include the 2016 Big 12 Cross Country Championship at the Rawls Course in Lubbock, Texas. The meet will air live on FloTrack on Saturday, October 29 with the women's race starting at 10 a.m. CT followed by the men's race at 11 a.m. CT. FloTrack and the Big 12 most recently partnered for a live broadcast of the Big 12 indoor track and field championship.
"The Big 12 has been a creative and passionate partner, and like FloSports, they are dedicated to producing their championships at the absolute highest level," said FloSports co-founder Mark Floreani. "We are incredibly excited to get one of the best conference championships in the nation on FloTrack streaming live."
Big 12 schools have a proud history in distance running. From 2001 to 2012, Big 12 schools won half of all the men's NCAA cross country team championships. In 2012, Texas Tech's Kennedy Kithuka and Iowa State's Betsy Saina swept the individual cross country titles.
"The Big 12 is excited to be partnered with FloSports for the production and distribution of its cross country championship," commented Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby. "Through FloSports, our programs and student-athletes will be exposed to a broad audience of cross country fans."
FloTrack ranks the men's and women's teams from Oklahoma State and Iowa State and the Baylor women in the top 25 in the Saucony Flo50 national rankings. The coaches' poll includes Texas men and Kansas women teams as national contenders.
Oklahoma State will attempt to defend its men's and women's team titles, but the Iowa State men and Baylor women are strong contenders. Last year was the Cowboys' eighth straight conference title and the Cowgirls' first ever.
Seven Big 12 teams went on to the national championship last year: both the men's and women's teams from Oklahoma State and Texas, as well as Oklahoma's men and the Iowa State and Kansas women.
Iowa State's Perez Rotich is the defending women's champion. But she'll have her hands full with Sharon Lokedi, who finished in the top ten nationally last year in cross country, the indoor 5K, and the outdoor 10K.
Jacob Burcham is the top returner on the men's side, though he hasn't raced so far this season. His Oklahoma teammates were recently featured on FloTrack's Workout Wednesday series.
