        55th NCAA team championship overall;
Whereas the Cowboys competed in the 2025 NCAA Midwest Regional Championship 
        10,000-meter race, where they finished first in points, earning an 
        automatic bid to compete for the national title;
Whereas the Cowboys finished the season by winning the Big 12 Cross Country 
        Championship, NCAA Midwest Regional Championship, and the NCAA Division

        the Cowboys a sixth national title;
Whereas Brian Musau was the first of three Cowboys to cross the finish line in 
        the top 10, finishing fourth and beating his previous 10,000 meter 
        record by three seconds, and earned his third cross country All-America 
        honor;
Whereas Fouad Messaoudi and Denis Kipngetich followed suit with fifth and sixth-
        place finishes, and both Cowboys earned their third cross country All-

        everywhere.
