The reigning NCAA champion Oklahoma State men's cross country team met President Barack Obama at the White House in a reception honoring NCAA championship teams from the 2009-10 academic year.

The Cowboys spent the day touring the U.S. Capitol building and sightseeing in Washington before being honored at the reception on the White House lawn.

"President Obama came out and gave a speech and then shook everyone's hand," coach Dave Smith  said. "It was an incredible experience. It's not every day you get to see the White House and meet the President. It was just a really fun day. It was also fun to get to hang out with the other national championship teams."

After their event-filled day in the nation's capital, the Cowboys knew they had experienced something that few people get the opportunity do.
