COLUMBUS, Ohio – Three seniors on the Ohio State women’s track and field team competed in the last day of the 2005 NCAA Indoor Championships at the University of Arkansas’ Randall Tyson Track and Field Complex in Fayatteville, Ark. Senior Shayla Moore finished 12th in the women’s triple jump to earn her first indoor All-America honor.
Moore, from Jessup, Md., placed one slot ahead of teammate Rosalind Goodwin (Sr., Prospect, Ky.), who tied for 13th to narrowly miss repeating as an All-American in the triple. Moore, who took runner-up to Goodwin at the Big Ten championships two weeks ago, reached 42 feet, 3 1/4 inches for 12th, while Goodwin marked a leap of 41-8 1/2. Moore adds the 2005 indoor All-American award to her outdoor triple jump All-America from the 2003 NCAA Championships.
Shelaine Larson, a senior from Ventura, Calif., took the pit in the women’s weight throw Saturday in search of her first indoor All-America honor. Her best throw reached 63-5 to place 17th and short of All-America status. Larson was the runner-up in both the shot put at weight at the 2005 Big Ten Indoor Championships.
Friday, two seniors on the men’s team closed out their indoor careers. Brian Olinger, a distance runner, placed 11th in the 5,000-meter run in a time of 13:58.18 to record his first All-America honor. Classmate Bryan Duby placed 12th in the weight throw with a heave of 64-7.
