	OBU captures national outdoor championship Wednesday, May 30, 2007 By Staff     OBU's Amanda Mayfield took first place in the 800-meters at the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championship. - Photo by Oklahoma Baptist University FRESNO, Calif. (BP)--Oklahoma Baptist University's track team on May 26 won its first NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championship since 1990. Fresno Pacific University hosted the competition. The OBU women finished third among 61 teams to score points at the meet with 55 points – 18 back of national champion Azusa Pacific. The Bison finished with 77 points, 19 ahead of runner-up Dickinson State at 58. The win was a hard one to come by, as OBU does not have its own track due to construction. “We really felt like back in September this would be worth it,” said OBU Coach Ford Mastin, who was named 2007 NAIA Men’s Coach of the Year. “All those trips to Tecumseh and running on the soccer field was worth it. I’m just proud that our guys didn’t give up.” [ Back to Previous Page ]	Email This Story To a Friend Enter your friend's email address: Bookmark this Page!  Related Stories Three from OBU track team heading to NAIA nationals -5/19/2010 OBU Bison notch NAIA men's championship -3/25/2010 Trejo leads Oklahoma Baptist baseball to win -3/3/2010 Oklahoma Baptist women's soccer players train, minister in Alaska -9/7/2009 OBU comes from behind to defeat JBU -10/21/2008 OBU soccer rolls past Union -9/15/2008 Lady Bison score huge road win -2/22/2008 Bison baseball wins 2 in Texas -2/14/2008 OBU wins season opener -11/9/2007 Lady Bisons win on Senior Day -10/22/2007 OBU's Morrow named SAC's player of the week -9/17/2007 OBU captures national outdoor championship -5/30/2007 A Prophet not without honors -5/22/2007 OBU's Boyer, Pate make All-Region team -5/14/2007 Oklahoma Baptist edges John Brown in soccer -9/26/2006 OBU defeats Northwestern Okla.
