COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State travelled with a squad of virtually all middle distance and distance runners to the Indiana Big Ten Invite No. 2 in Bloomington, Ind. Friday. The event was set up as a two-day meet, but was changed to a one-day – Friday only – meet late this week because of the pending inclement weather forecast for the Midwest on Saturday.
Regardless, it ended up being a two-day meet. The weather hit Friday, anyway, causing two meet delays and extending the meet past the Eastern midnight hour and into Saturday morning.
What blew through Bloomington from the East, however, were some terrific performances by the Buckeyes. No. 1 was the 3,000-meter steeplechase of sophomore Allie Guaguenti, from Powell, Ohio. Guaguenti was second in the 11-runner field in a school-record smashing time of 10:11.86 to top Sarah Kanney’s two-year-old record of 10:21.02.
