COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State track and field team wrapped up its competition at the Raleigh Relays on Friday with women’s distance events. The Buckeye women broke a second program record in as many days as Addie Engel finished fourth among 170 completed entries in the women’s 5000m (15:44.02).
TRACK EVENTS
- 1500m: Gia Napoleon represented the Buckeyes by finishing in 4:27.24.
- 5000m: Akemi Von Scherr had an outdoor personal-best time of 16:47.82 in the women’s 5000m, while Audrey DeSantis finished in 17:27.08.
THOUGHTS ON THE MEET
Sara Mason Vergote: “It was a really productive weekend for both the men and women, especially this early in the season. Addie Engel, Daniella Santos and Andrea Kuhn all broke school records this weekend, but what was most impressive to me was their ability to show patience and execute.”
UP NEXT
The Buckeyes split squad next weekend, sending some to the Texas Relays and other to the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational.
