There’s been a lot of positive happenings with Ohio State athletics during the spring and you can add the men’s track and field to that list.
On Friday, the Buckeyes sent three field event athletes to nationals. In the discus, Carlos Aviles earned a spot at nationals by unleashing a best throw of 56.94m / 186’10” to finish eighth.
Shaun Miller Jr. qualified by clearing 2.14m / 7’0.25” on the first attempt in the high jump to also punch his ticket to the NCAA Championships. Not to be outdone, Clarence Foote-Talley finished eighth (15.90m / 52’2”) to earn a spot at the NCAA Championships.
The women will complete their competition at the NCAA East First Round on Saturday, beginning with the discus at 1 p.m
