We are honored to play host to the 21st running of the Jesse Owens Track Classic. This is a great event for athletes at all levels and is held in a facility named in tribute of Jesse Owens. The Classic is a great event, held in a wonderful facility, and serves as a permanent tribute to not only a tremendous athlete but a great humanitarian and sportsman.

We haven't put a lot of interest in trying to win the meet in the past because we have a lot of schools in Ohio. So we try and give them the chance to perform, but this year we're going all out. We're going to win the meet.

I am excited about this recruiting class. It is talented and deep on the track and in the field. I expect each of the recruits to make an immediate impact on our team and help us finish near the top of the Big Ten this year. We have a young team, but we are talented and that is what excites me the most.
