COLUMBUS, Ohio – Buckeye great Sade Olatoye has been nominated for the Wayne Duke Postgraduate award announced this week. The Wayne Duke Postgraduate award is an annual scholarship, which is for $10,000, recognizing one male and one female senior within the Big Ten for exceptional achievements in academics, athletics and civic service.
Olatoye is a fifth-year senior from Dublin, Ohio majoring in health science, is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and three-time Ohio State Scholar athlete. She hopes to become a doctor one-day and with the Wayne Duke Scholarship her dreams are another step closer. As if the nomination wasn’t a testimony to her hard-work academically, she has been named an Ohio State February Student-Athlete of the month.
Each month the Ohio State Department of Athletics will highlight 10 Buckeye student-athletes who have displayed academic goodwill and achieved marked success in pursuits in the classroom. Some of those achievements are great work ethic, character in the classroom and the student-athletes community involvement.
Olatoye has had a fantastic career athletically for the Buckeyes as well. She is a two-time Big Ten Field Athlete of the year (2017-18), five-time Big Ten Champion, indoor weight throw National champion (2019) and was named Ohio State’s Female Athlete of the Year this past June. Olatoye will compete for the Buckeyes in one-last outdoor season and will leave behind a stellar legacy for all Buckeyes to come.
