TRACK AND FIELD
Before the outdoor season even began, the women's track and field team could already call their year a success; Ohio State had won the past three Big Ten titles, including consecutive indoor championships in 2019 and 2020 and last year's outdoor title.

With the spring sports cancellation, Ohio State will not have a chance to complete a two-year sweep of the Big Ten; the Buckeyes ended the shortened season ranked No. 24 and were the only ranked team in the conference.

In addition to the possible team accomplishments that were abandoned, the women's track and field team had a number of athletes vying for Big Ten and nationwide medals in the outdoor season. Anavia Battle, Emma Nwofor, and Adelaide Aquilla each earned at least one Big Ten gold medal in the indoor championships while Devine Parker came in second in two events and Morgan Lewis finished third in the 60m hurdles. Battle, Nwofor, Aquilla, and Lewis all qualified for the Indoor National Championships as well, with Battle earning a silver medal in the 200m and Aquilla finishing in third in shot-put.

Additionally, a number of athletes on the men's side also had a chance at earning Big Ten or national medals. Tyler Johnson, after winning three silver medals in the conference championships, competed in two events at the Indoor National Championships while triple-jumper Clarence Foote-Talley and the 4x400 relay team of Tyler Johnson, Donnie James, Asa Burke, and Ryan Harrington both qualified. Ryan Harrington also earned a bronze and silver medal at the Big Ten indoor championships.

8. ANAVIA BATTLE, WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD
Battle led Ohio State to its second consecutive Big Ten indoor track and field title this winter, earning track athlete of the championships honors for her individual efforts after she won conference gold in both the 60-meter dash (7.29 seconds) and 200-meter dash (22.79).

She competed in the 200 in three meets this winter and won all of them, while she also picked up two wins in the 60. Had the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships continued as scheduled, Battle was a major contender to win again in the 200, with a 22.66-second seed time that ranked No. 2 nationally. She is a junior with another year of eligibility, so she’ll have another opportunity to chase national titles in 2021.

Just sayin': Hopefully she can win the Outdoor Track and Field shot put championship too.
