COLUMBUS, Ohio – Dan Taylor, a senior thrower on the Ohio State Track and Field team, traveled to compete separately Saturday at the 2004 Sea Relays at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn. Taylor, who did not join the Ohio State team at the Brutus Hamilton Invitational in Berkeley, Calif., entered three throw events and placed within the Top 5 in each, including a top mark in the shot put at 65 feet, ? inches (65-0.50). The Sea Ray Relays, held at UT’s Tom Black Track, served as the prominent meet of the weekend as 100 teams were represented in the 38th annual running of the event.
Taylor’s winning measure in the shot put bested the field by more than two feet as he topped runner-up John Kalnas and his heave of 62-8.75. Later, Taylor claimed a runner-up mark of his own in the discus with a throw of 173-2 and finished the event with a fifth-place score in the hammer at 218-4. All three lengths qualified Taylor for the 2004 NCAA Mideast Regional Championships in Baton Rouge, La. May 28-29.
This week, Taylor again will throw separate from the team, which plays host to the 2004 All-Ohio Track Championships Friday and Saturday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, as the seven-time All-American heads to the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif. Friday through Sunday at Mt. San Antonio College.
