COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State men's track and field team completed action in Madison, Wis., in the 2008 Big Ten Championships Sunday. The Buckeyes finished third with 82 points. Defending national champion Wisconsin won the team title with 127 points.
The third-place finish by the team marks the second time in the last 10 championships that the Buckeyes have finished in the Top 3. The third-place finish is the best for the Buckeyes since finishing third in 2001.

With the win See becomes the first Buckeye to win back-to-back conference crowns in the mile. See won the event in the in a time of 4:22.21.
