CORVALLIS, Ore. – A pair of Oregon State cross country runners have earned Preseason All-West Coast Conference recognition, the conference office announced Friday, as Sage Brooks and Kate Laurent both earned the honor. As a team, the Beavers were picked third in the WCC Coaches Poll, receiving two first-place votes.
Brooks is a redshirt-junior preparing to compete in her second season with the Beavers, after transferring from Syracuse. The Missoula, Mont. Native placed 35th at last season's Pac-12 Championships, and scored in Oregon State's best ever performance at the Nuttycombe Invitational. Brooks placed third at the 2023 Linfield Harrier Classic.
Laurent heads into her junior season, after finishing 38th at the Pac-12 Championships last fall. She placed seventh at the Linfield Harrier Classic last September, and scored in the Beavers' best-ever finish at the Nuttycombe Invitational.
