COLUMBUS, Ohio – It was simply another terrific, terrific afternoon indoors at the SPIRE Institute’s Big Ten Invite for the track and field teams from Ohio State University. Eight more wins Saturday enabled the Buckeyes to secure over a third of the wins – 13 wins in 34 events – in an eight-team field that included teams from Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Nebraska, Maryland and Iowa.
A recap of the best and the brightest from the Buckeyes:
Defending Big Ten indoor champion Adelaide Aquilla is a three-time winner for the Buckeyes so far this winter. The senior lofted the shot put 17.13m/56-2 ½ to win the competition and climb into the Top 5 nationally. The event also featured Sade Olatoye taking third (16.62m/54-6 ½) and Divine Oladipo finishing fourth with a toss of 15.81m/51-10 ½.

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.
