COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State men's and women's track and field teams competed in the final day of the 2006 Big Ten Outdoor Championships Sunday at Michigan State's Ralph Young Facility in East Lansing, Mich. Jessica Stringer helped the women's team make a strong push in the final standings with a second-consecutive conference title in the high jump.
The Buckeye women's squad, in eighth after Saturday, used several high-scoring performances Sunday to place fifth with 66 team points. The men's team, which led the Big Ten standings after events concluded Friday, slipped to third place Saturday and fell further Sunday, winding up in eighth place with a team score of 59. Wisconsin claimed its third consecutive men's team title with a total of 161.5, while Minnesota accumulated 153.5 for the women's team crown.
Stringer, a junior from Williamsburg, Ind., successfully defended her 2005 Big Ten high jump championship by clearing 5 feet, 10 inches. The league title is Stringer's third of her career. She also claimed the 2006 indoor high jump crown earlier this year.
The Buckeyes also benefited from several strong efforts in the sprint and relay events. Junior Jenna Harris, the 2005 Big Ten 100-meter champion, coupled a second-place finish in the 200m with a third-place time in the 100m. Harris clocked a 23.68 in the 200m after posting an 11.63 in the 100m. Both of her times served as NCAA Mideast Regional qualifiers. Freshman Ayrizanna Favours added a second-place and career-best mark of 53.21 in the 400m dash.
Both Favours and Harris combined to lead the women's relays teams to third-place scores in the 4x100m and 4x400m events. Harris ran the lead leg of the season-best and regional qualifying 4x400m mark of 3:40.21. Favours was responsible for the lead leg of the 4x100m, which timed a season-best 45.88.

Junior Veronica Vance was seventh in the triple jump (39-11 3/4).
For the men, a pair of freshman hurdlers made impressive debuts at the Big Ten meet. Matt Comer was second in the 400-meter hurdles in a career-best and regional qualifying time of 51.23. He bested classmate Elon Simms, who was third with a career-best of 51.43. Comer also helped the Buckeyes score in the 4x400m relay. Ohio State finished seventh in 3:10.51. The 4x100m team also took seventh in 41.49.
Freshman Brandon Cathcart added points for OSU in the field with a sixth-place leap in the triple jump of 50-6 3/4. Freshman throwers Pat Whalen and Pat Filipi both were eighth in their events. Whalen heaved 54-2 3/4 in the shot put and Filipi tossed a season-best 182-2 in the javelin.

No problem... I enjoy the sport and wanted to make sure others had a chance to see this info. For what it's worth, none of the football players are running track this year... can't say it surprises me though. Too bad for Russ Rodgers as he could have had some killer relays.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Big Ten announced its 2006 Outdoor Track and Field All-Conference Team Wednesday. Ohio State had six student-athletes honored with individual awards. Brian Olinger, the league champion in the 10,000-meter run, and Jessica Stringer, conference high jump winner, gained first-team status.
Olinger, a senior from Fresno, Ohio, also became a multiple winner at the Big Ten level last weekend. The 2004 champion in the 5,000-meter run topped the field in the 10,000m event Friday to help the Buckeyes grab first place after Day 1 of the meet. The two-time All-American bested his own Ohio State record to win the event in a time of 28:45.59 and narrowly missed setting the conference meet standard (28:45.25). Less than 24 hours later, Olinger posted a runner-up finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase Saturday. He added eight more team points for Ohio State with a time of 8:46.93.
Stringer, a junior from Williamsburg, Ind., successfully defended her 2005 Big Ten high jump championship Sunday by clearing 5 feet, 10 inches. The league title is Stringer's third of her career. She also claimed the 2006 indoor high jump crown earlier this year. With Stringer's title Sunday, Ohio State has claimed four of the last five outdoor high jump championships on the women's side. Former Buckeye Tami Smith (2000-03) won league titles in the event in 2002 and '03. Including indoor seasons, Smith and Stringer have combined to win eighth of the last 11 Big Ten high jump crowns.

Jenna Harris, who also is a former Big Ten outdoor champion in the 100m dash in 2005, clocked a second-place time in the 200m dash Sunday. Freshman Ayrizanna Favours made a successful Big Ten debut by taking second in the 400m run Sunday as well.
For the men, fellow freshman Matt Comer also turned in a strong first appearance at the Big Ten meet by taking second in the 400m hurdles.

Both the men's and women's teams are off this weekend to prep for the 2006 NCAA Mideast Regional Championships May 26-27 at Knoxville, Tenn.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State men's and women's track and field teams competed in the first day of the 2006 NCAA Mideast Regional Championships Friday at the University of Tennessee's LaPorte Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn. Several Buckeye sprinters turned in top times in their respective qualifying heats to reach the final events Saturday.
The sprinting tandem of junior Jenna Harris and freshman Ayrizanna Favours proved to be the highlight performers for Ohio State Friday. Harris clocked the sixth-fastest time in the 200-meter dash, a career-best 23.51, to earn a spot in the finals Saturday. Favours nabbed the fifth-best time in the 400m at 53.52 and will run in the event finals tomorrow as well. Both Favours and Harris will vie for a bid to the national champoinships tomorrow. Each will need a Top 5 finish to gain a berth to the NCAA meet. Harris also ran in the 100m dash, but failed to reach in the finals (11.68).
The men's track squad had a pair of freshmen in the 400-meter hurdles in Matt Comer and Elon Simms. Unfortunately, both failed to gain a spot in the finals as both finished outside the Top 9. In the relays, the men's 4x100-meter relay also failed to make the finals with a time of 41.47.
In the jumps, three-time Big Ten champion Jessica Stringer saw her quest to reach All-America status in both the indoor and outdoor women's high jump this season come to an end in a jump off. The junior from Williamsburg, Ind., narrowly missed a spot in the Top 5, finishing in a tie for sixth at 5 feet, 9 1/4 inches.
In throwing events, a trio of Buckeyes competed in the women's shot put. Three-time All-American and recent Big Ten Medal of Honor winner Keturah Lofton heaved a season-best mark of 49-6 and took ninth. Freshmen Veronica Jatsek was 11th at 48-5 and Janine Zylinski took 23rd at 45-9. In the men's hammer, sophomore David Ebersole tossed a career-best mark of 189-6 to finish 13th, four spots ahead of teammate
