EAST LANSING, Mich. – With a record-breaking 18 points, the Oregon women’s cross country team secured the team title at the 2025 Big Ten Cross Country Championship presented by Allstate and hosted by Michigan State University at Forest Akers East Golf Course. 

This marks the second season in a row the Ducks have won the team title, besting runner-up Penn State (78) and third-place finisher Northwestern (96). With the win, Oregon also claimed the fourth largest winning margin of victory in Big Ten history. 

The Ducks landed four finishers in the top five, paced by winner Diana Cherotich with a time of 19:31.3. Cherotich, a freshman, beat fellow teammates Juliet Cherubet, last year’s record-breaking title holder Silan Ayyildiz and Dalia Frias who finished second, third and fifth, respectively.  

The top 10 finishers at the Big Ten Championships garnered first team All-Big Ten honors, while competitors in places 11-20 received second team laurels. The five highest-finishing freshmen earned a spot on the all-freshman team.
