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 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.

“Your celebration comes after a year that was extraordinary by any measure,” Dimon said. “We’ve been through a global pandemic, a global recession, unprecedented government actions, turbulent elections, and deeply felt social and racial injustice.
