Oklahoma State coach Dave Smith has been honored as the Bill Dellinger National Men's Cross Country Coach of the Year.

Smith's Cowboys won their second-straight NCAA team title in 2010, joining only nine other schools to have won back-to-back national cross country crowns. With 73 points, Oklahoma State topped Florida State's 193 for the fourth-largest margin of victory in NCAA meet history. Juniors Girma Mecheso, German Fernandez, and Colby Lowe finished in the race's top ten.

Earlier in the season, Oklahoma State finished second in the NCAA Midwest Regional and won their third-straight Big 12 Conference team title. Smith has been at the head of Oklahoma State's men's cross country program for five years.
