COLUMBUS, Ohio – It may be a little nippy outside in Ohio in February, but indoors things are heating up for the track and field teams at Ohio State University, which are competing in the two-day SPIRE Institute Big Ten Invite in Geneva, Ohio this weekend. How warm? Dig this: Sade Olatoye, competing for the first time this winter, won the weight throw competition by over 15 feet with a throw – 23.4m/76-9 ¼ – that is the farthest throw in the nation this year, by over four feet!
Good news for throwers nationally, Olatoye has exhausted her indoor eligibility and will compete unattached through the indoor season, but then return for one last outdoor season where she will, no doubt, continue to cement her legacy as one of the great, great student-athletes in Ohio State history.
