Men's team draws from home crowd
Megan Savage
Issue date: 5/8/08 Section: Sports
The Ohio State men's track and field team competed in front of a home crowd Friday and Saturday for the second time this season. Despite cold wind and rain, there was an impressive turnout at the Jesse Owens Classic and the stands were full of cheering fans.
"There were a lot more people here than last year," junior Matt Comer said. "I think that it helps a lot with team performance."
Comer ran the men's 400-meter dash and finished seventh with a time of 47.71 seconds, followed closely by sophomore teammate Stephen Robinson, who finished eighth with a time of 47.79. Comer and Robinson were both members of the winning 1,600-meter relay team. The 1,600 relay was the last event of the meet.

Meet Results
Freshman Bryan Bunnell claims Big Ten title in the javelin throw
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State men's track and field team completed action at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships in Champaign Ill., finishing in third place with 100 points. This marks only the second time in Ohio State history that the men's cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field teams have finished in the Top 3 at their respective championships. The last time the Buckeyes accomplished the feat was 1941.
"I could not be happier," head coach Robert Gary said after the meet. "We vowed as a program last year to be in the Top 3 all three seasons (cross country, indoors and outdoors) and we really stuck with it. We had a balanced team effort in all the areas and just kept fighting. We lose a couple great seniors, but we have some great recruits being added. Most importantly, we have done a great job improving the overall culture of the program whereby we are a united team (all event areas) and are committed towards positioning ourselves to win a big ten title."
The biggest event of the day for the Buckeyes was the javelin throw as Ohio State swept the top two spots. Freshman Bryan Bunnell made his case for Big Ten freshman of the year, dominating the event with a winning toss of 219 feet, 1 inch. Patrick Filipi finished second with a toss of 216-11. The two Buckeyes bested the field by 6 feet, 3 inches.

Good article on the NCAA's website... this was posted before the Big Ten Championships... the Bucks were able to accomplish the feat of finishing in the top 3 for all 3 seasons (cross country, indoor track, outdoor track). Congrats to Robert, his athletes, and his assistant coaches!

Creating A Culture Of Champions

Last fall, the Ohio State men's cross country team placed third as hosts of the 2008 Big Ten Championships (Oct. 28), noting the team's fourth Top 3 finish in its last six tries. The men's track and field team followed suit with its own third-place finish at the conference indoor championships March 2 in Madison, Wis.
This weekend, Robert Gary, Ohio State men?s cross country and track and field head coach, looks to complete the challenge of securing Top 3 finishes at all three Big Ten championships in a single season at the 2008 Big Ten Outdoor Championships in Champaign, Ill.
If Gary's squad of veteran sprinters, distance runners and throwers can win points in each of the events, the Buckeyes will record a feat that the Ohio State program hasn't achieved since 1941.
"The mantra of this season is earning Top 3 finishes at the Big Ten cross country, indoor and outdoor championships," Gary, a former Buckeye and two-time Olympian, said. "It's an accomplishment an Ohio State team has not reached for more than 60 years."

I got to watch the team in Champaign this weekend. Gary is doing a wonderful job. He is building something special in Columbus that has not been there for a long time - a complete team that was seriously into how each other were doing!

 Big Ten Release (PDF)
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State men's track and field team collected Big Ten postseason awards following the 2008 Big Ten Outdoor Championships in Champaign, Ill. Six Buckeyes took home All-Big Ten honors, including two on the first team and four on the second.
"I am very proud of our individual award winners," head coach Robert Gary said. "Our program really has learned to work towards many goals as a team. But it is very nice to recognize some of the individual awards as well. They are very deserving of these honors."
David Ebersole, a former walk-on, won the Big Ten championship in the hammer throw last weekend and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors with his mark of 211 feet, 8 inches. The honor is the first of his career. The Cleveland, Ohio, native won the award by besting the field by 2 feet, 6 3/4 inches. The toss ranks 22nd in the nation and ninth in the Mideast region. The toss also was a facility record for the Illinois Soccer and Track and Field facility.

BUCKEYES HIT TRIFECTA
Ohio State's men's cross country and indoor and outdoor track teams each finished in the Top 3 at their respective Big Ten Championship meets this season. With the men's third place finish at the 2008 Big Ten outdoors, it marks the first time since 1941 that Ohio State has had all three teams finish in the Top 3 in the same season. It marks only the second time in Ohio State history that the men's cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field teams have finished in the Top 3 at their respective championships.
"The mantra of this season is earning Top 3 finishes at the Big Ten cross country, indoor and outdoor championships," Robert Gary, a former Buckeye and two-time Olympian, said. "It's an accomplishment an Ohio State team has not reached for more than 60 years. Even then, only a couple teams came to the 1941 indoor championships so is the first time the program has really accomplished the goal which excites the team."
