COLUMBUS, Ohio – There were just two point-producing finals Friday, the first day of the three-day Big Ten Conference men’s and women’s track and field championships being held in Champaign, Ill., but Ohio State scored enough points to be third in the women’s competition and eighth in the men’s. The championships are being held at the University of Illinois at its new Demirjian Park/Gary R. Wieneke Track.
Sade stars!
The headline-grabbing result of the day was by Sade Olatoye, the master’s degree candidate pursuing bioethics, who won her second Big Ten outdoor title and her seventh Big Ten crown overall by taking first in the hammer with a new Big Ten championships throw of 68.9m / 226-0.
