Myers, Huling and Olinger advanced to the finals of their events before coming up short while See - just a sophomore at the time - missed the finals by one spot. Gary was selected to be an assistant coach for Team USA’s U23 team in July 2008 at the North America, Central America and Caribbean Athletic Association (NACAC) meet in Toluca, Mexico. Joining him was See, who competed in the 1500m run. Myers and Huling finished the year having run the second-fastest times by an American in their respective events. Gary ended a decorated running career in 2005. In 2004, he became the fifth former Buckeye to gain a bid to two separate U.S. Olympic teams and continued running by making the finals for the 11th-straight year at the 2005 USA Nationals. A 1996 participant at the Atlanta Games, Gary placed second in the men’s steeplechase at the Olympic Trials with a career-best 8:19.46. Eight years later, his third-place finish at the trials gained an automatic bid on the U.S. team headed to Athens, Greece for the 2004 Olympic Games. Gary also earned honors as a cross country athlete, winning the 2004 Track and Field News Cross Country Runner of the Year. He qualified for the U.S. team for the second-straight season in both the four-kilometer and 12-kilometer events and finished as the top American at the 2004 World Championships in the 4k. Gary’s 2004 qualification to the world championships in two events marked the first time a U.S. runner made both teams in consecutive years and moved his tally to 11 national cross country teams qualified for. In 2003, Gary qualified for his sixth United States World Cross Country team by winning the 2003 U.S. 4-kilometer Cross Country Championship in Houston, Texas. That same year, he claimed a third-place standing in the steeplechase at the USATF championships in June. Gary ended the year by representing the U.S. at the 2003 Outdoor World Championship en route to earning a No. 3 ranking by Track and Field News. During the 2002 outdoor campaign, Gary ran the fourth-fastest time by an American in the 3000m steeplechase. As a result of his performance, Gary was ranked among the Top 10 in the U.S. for the seventh-straight year. As a student-athlete at Ohio State from 1992-1995, Gary was a six-event All-American, winning the Big Ten outdoor 3000m steeplechase title in 1994, where he set the Ohio State and Big Ten record in the event. He was a three-time All-Big Ten selection and member of three Big Ten championship teams (1992 outdoor, and 1993 indoor and outdoor). A 2009 inductee into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame, Gary received a degree in English education from Ohio State in the fall of 1996. He is a graduate of Evanston Township High School (Chicago, Ill.) where he was a state champion in the two-mile and an All-Midwest selection in soccer. He resides in Columbus with his wife, Rita, and infant son, Percy.

Noted as one of the best sprints/hurdles coaches in the nation, Ed Beathea was hired as Ohio State men’s track and field associate head coach Aug. 14, 2006. Beathea is responsible for instructing the Buckeye sprinters and hurdlers, as well as athletes competing in the horizontal jumps.

During his four years in Columbus, Beathea has mentored four individual Big Ten champions while also building the Buckeye 4x400- meter relay team into a Midwestern juggernaut that has won five-consecutive Big Ten titles. At the 2010 NCAA East preliminaries, the squad clocked a blistering third-place run of 3:03.97, the third-fastest time in school history.

Beathea’s greatest accomplish in his time with the Buckeyes, however, has been his work with two-time All-American Thomas Murdaugh. A relative unknown out of high school, Murdaugh has become one of the premier sprinters in the country thanks in large part to his training with Beathea. As a sophomore in 2010, Murdaugh was named the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Great Lakes Track Athlete of the Year during both the indoor and outdoor season, as well as the Big Ten Athlete of the Year and Athlete of the Championships for the indoor season. In his first two seasons with the Buckeyes, Murdaugh has won a total of five Big Ten titles to go along with his two A-A honors. Beathea was recognized for his work with Murdaugh and the 4x4 squad in 2010 when he was named Great Lakes Assistant Coach of the Year by USTFCCCA.

Prior to joining the Buckeye coaching staff in 2006, Beathea spent 10 seasons coaching sprints and hurdles at Indiana, the last four years as associate head coach. In his decade with the Hoosiers, Beathea coached 32 Big Ten sprint and hurdle champions, 28 All-Americans and two NCAA runner-ups. He gained national attention for his work with sprinters David Neville – a bronze medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games – and Rachelle (Boone) Smith, the 2006 USA outdoor champion in the 200, while also building his reputation as an excellent relay coach. Under his leadership, the women’s sprint relay squad made conference history by becoming the first Big Ten relay team to win the league title and earn All-America recognition for four consecutive years (2001-05).

Coach Beathea spent two years at Northern Arizona University before to his arrival at Indiana, assisting with the sprinters, horizontal jumpers and men’s and women’s cross country squads. His time in time in Flagstaff came on the heels of a successful collegiate career at Ball State, where he holds school records in the 400-meter (indoor) and 4x400-meter relay. Beathea graduated with a bachelor’s degree from BSU in 1992 and earned his master’s in sports administration while serving as a graduate assistant for the Cardinals in 1994.

A native of Elkhart, Ind., Ed and his wife, Kim, have two daughters, Sarah and Abby.

Kevin Mannon is entering his seventh season as an assistant coach for the Ohio State men’s track and field team.

Since joining the Buckeye staff full-time in 2004, coach Mannon has established himself as one of the top-rated throws coaches in the United States, producing five Big Ten champions, eight Big Ten runner-ups, six All-Americans, 13 NCAA championship qualifiers and 27 NCAA regional qualifiers. Ohio State track and field legends Dan Taylor, Lenny Jatsek, Veronica Jatsek, David Ebersole, Bryan Duby, Shelaine Larson, Keturah Lofton and Patrick Whalen all earned national acclaim as collegiate athletes under Mannon’s leadership.

Over the past year, Mannon’s throwers have shown steady improvement, establishing themselves as one of the deepest squads in the country. Matt DeChant set the bar for the Buckeye hurlers in 2010 with a pair of All-American finishes in the shot put at both the NCAA indoor and outdoor championships. At the 2010 Big Ten Outdoor Championships, Buckeye throwers posted 31 points in four events, led by Max Mays and Tom Davis, both of whom posted personal bests in the men’s hammer throw on their way to second and fourth, respectively. In the shot put, DeChant and Tyler Branch each broke the 18-meter mark to move in to the top 10 all-time at Ohio State, while Bryan Bunnell finished third in the javelin, the third-consecutive podium finish for Bunnell at the conference finals.

The 2010 season built upon a tremendous two-year run for Mannon and the Buckeye throws team. From 2008-2009, the Scarlet and Gray produced an All-American, three NCAA national qualifiers, two Big Ten champions, two Big Ten runners-up and 10 NCAA regional qualifiers. In 2008, Mannon coached Ebersole -- a former walk-on -- and Jatsek to a pair of NCAA championship appearances in the weight throw, where Jatsek earned the second All-American award of his career. Ebersole captured the Big Ten title that season in the hammer throw with the second-best toss in Ohio State history (64.52m/211-8), while Bunnell -- only a freshman at the time -- shocked the field with a win in the javelin. A year later, Whalen wrapped a stellar collegiate career with a Big Ten runner-up finish in the shot put and earned trip to the NCAA national championships.

As a student-athlete, Mannon was a 12-time All-American between two-year stints at South Carolina and Wyoming. He was the recipient of the Southeastern Conference Commissioner’s Trophy his sophomore season at South Carolina after winning performances at the 1997 outdoor conference meet. Following his sophomore season at South Carolina, in which Mannon earned five All-America awards, he transferred to Wyoming, where he gained another seven All-America honors in his two seasons with the Cowboys.

In addition to the 12-overall All-America accolades, Mannon established the American collegiate record in the weight throw on two occasions during the 1999 indoor season. Mannon set the American standard of 22.76m (74-8.25) on February 13, 1999 in Laramie, Wyo. The mark stood until Jan. 10, 2004, when Taylor heaved a measure of 23.22m (76-2.25) at the indoor season opener in French Field House. Mannon was present that day to witness the record-setting throw and later helped Taylor set the record two more times, the last reaching 24.01m (78-9.25) on Feb. 21, 2004.

A native of West Jefferson, Ohio, Mannon earned his bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Wyoming, in 1999. He currently resides in West Jefferson with his wife, Joanna and three children.

Former Olympian Joe Greene returned to his alma mater as a volunteer assistant coach in 2009, working primarily with athletes competing in the jumps. Greene was a bronze medalist at the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games and was an All-American at Ohio State from 1987-90.

One of the most decorated athletes to ever don the scarlet and gray, Greene won eight Big Ten titles in the long and triple jump. He earned All-America laurels on six different occasions (indoor and outdoor) and was the NCAA champion in the triple jump in 1988 and in the long jump in 1989.

In 1988, he broke Jesse Owens’ 54-year-old record in the indoor long jump and still holds the Ohio State records in the indoor triple jump (55 feet, 0.25 inches) and the outdoor triple jump (55 feet, 4.75 inches). He is still second on Ohio State’s all-time indoor long jump list (26-3) and is tied for second with Chris Sanders in the outdoor long jump (26-7).

As an assistant with the Buckeyes, Green helped freshman Korbin Smith to the 2010 Big Ten outdoor title in the long jump.He has also been instrumental in the development of current Buckeyes Derek Blevins, Steve MacDonald and Cody Westbrook on the track.

Greene’s sister, Denise, was a Big Ten champion in the hurdles at Michigan State and ran track with current Ohio State women’s coach Karen Dennis. His oldest brother, James R. Greene III, is an Ohio State Law School graduate.

Greene currently resides in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. jeff see volunteer assistant COACH - Cross Country first Season

Jeff See, one of the most decorated distance runners in school history, has returned to Ohio State as a volunteer assistant on Robert Gary’s staff.

See was a six-time All-American at Ohio State from 2005-2010, claiming five All-America honors on the track and one in cross country. He earned two AA honors in the indoor mile in 2008 and 2010, three in the outdoor 1500m in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the other during the 2009 cross country season. The Middletown, Ohio, native also claimed four Big Ten titles along the way – two in the indoor mile (2007, ‘08), one in the 2006 DMR and the other in 2010 in the indoor 3000m.

See capped off his illustrious Ohio State career in May 2010 when he captured the sixth and final All-American award of his career with a fifth-place finish in the 1500m run at the NCAA championships. He also was a member of Ohio State’s 4x800m relay team that posted a then-2010 world-best time of 7:17.68 at the Drake Relays, winning Drake’s Most Outstanding Male Performer as a result of his efforts. During the indoor season he captured the fifth All-America honor of his career with a sixth-place finish in the mile after winning a Big Ten title in the 3000m.

In 2009, See finished 28th at the NCAA championships, where he helped the Buckeyes to a 21st-place finish overall on his way to the first cross country All-America honor of his career. See was named 2009 Great Lakes Athlete of the Year by the USTFCCCA after a first-place finish at the NCAA regional championships and also earned first team All-Big Ten honors after finishing third overall at the Big Ten championships.

During the 2009 outdoor season, See finished eighth in the 1500m at the NCAA outdoor championships to become a three-time All-American. However, it was the spring of 2008 when See really made his mark, earning All-America honors in the 1500m run with his fifth-place finish at the NCAA championships and qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Trials with his time of 3:40.86 at the Jesse Owens Track Classic. See would go on to miss the finals of the 1500m by just one spot.

A two-time All-American and three-time Big Ten champion in the indoor mile, See earned AA honors in the event and won his second consecutive Big Ten title in 2008, posting the second-best time in Ohio State history at the time with a mark of 4:00.05 – the only Buck- eye to post back-to-back Big Ten titles in the mile.

A four-time academic all-Big Ten selection and five-time Ohio State scholar athlete, See graduated from The Ohio State University in spring 2010. He resides in Columbus and continues to train with Gary as a post-collegiate athlete. 10 2010 men’s Track & C r o s s C o u n t r y 2010 men’s Track & C r o s s C o u n t r y 2010 men’s Track & C r o s s C o u n t r y 2010 men’s T r a c k & C r o s s C o u n t r y 2010 men’s Track & C r o s s C o u n t r y 2010 men’s Track & C r o s s C o u n t r y tim walters volunteer assistant COACH - track and field third Season | multi-events

french field house

Completed in November 1956 at a cost of $1,010,000, French Field House was designed for indoor track and field meets but also was used a practice facility for many sports.

Presently, the facility possesses a strength and conditioning weight room along with an indoor rowing tank for the Ohio State varsity rowing squad. It also is home to many indoor track and field meets during the winter season.

Renovations of the track and astroturf area, along with structural upgrades and new bleacher seating were completed in Fall 2009 at an estimated cost of $1,300,000.

The field house was named in honor of Prof. William E. French, who was the Western Confer- ence faculty representative for The Ohio State University for 32 years.

In its history, the Jesse Owens Track Classic has served as a top venue for many future and former Olympians. Current and past record holders for the Jesse Owens Track Classic include Olympic medalists John Drum- mond, Michelle Finn, Allen Johnson, Edwin Moses, Dwight Stones and former Buckeyes Diane Dixon, Joe Greene and Butch Reynolds. Others of Olympic fame include Judi Brown, Roger Kingdom, Carl Lewis, Louise Ritter and Calvin Smith, as well as past OSU Olympians Mark Croghan and Stephanie Hightower. Recently, events highlighting high school athletes has been schedule for the early portion of The Classic. More than 70 high school teams were represented at the 2010 meet. Whether at the high school, collegiate or professional levels, all competitors in each running of the Jesse Owens Classic experience the true sense of the spirit and virtue of the four-time gold medal-winning hero. “The Jesse Owens Classic is named for the finest Olympian of all-time,” Robert Gary, Ohio State men’s head coach and Owens meet director, said. “Matched with the great facility we have at Ohio State, the Classic has been and will continue to be one of the premier events in the country for years to come. “I am very excited about the future of the Jesse Owens Classic. For the 2011 edition, we will actively invite the very best Ohio High schools; previewing the state meet in a very professionally run meet and allow- ing high schoolers to watch the best college and professionals compete should be a great draw.”

Throughout the storied history of Ohio State athletics, the one name that stands out among all greats is Jesse Owens. His unparalleled accomplishments on the track, captivating charm and tireless efforts on behalf of young people made him a legend around the world. Owens’ athletics career began in junior high school in Cleveland, Ohio, where he set national records in both the high jump and the broad jump. At East Tech High School, Owens set scholastic world records in the 220-yard dash and the broad jump and tied a world record in the 100-yard dash. In the fall of 1933, Owens enrolled at The Ohio State University. Under the tutelage of Buckeye track coach Larry Snyder, Owens rose to international prominence during his sophomore season. He recorded world indoor records in both the 60-meter dash and 60-yard dash and compiled 45 first-place, five second-place and four third-place finishes that season. On May 25, 1935, at the Western Conference (now Big Ten) Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich., in the space of only 70 minutes, Owens set three world records and tied a fourth. The “Buckeye Bullet” raced to a :09.4 mark in the 100-yard dash, equaling the record. Then it was on to the broad jump pit, where he cleared 26-8 ¼. Owens also competed in the 220-yard dash, where he smashed the world record with a time of :20.3, and he topped that effort with a mark of :22.6 in the 220-yard low hurdles. It was a performance the likes of which the world may never see again. The year 1936 could simply be known as the year of Jesse Owens. The premier track athlete in the world, Owens was undefeated in 42 events for Ohio State that season. He won four titles at the Western Conference Championships, four at the NCAA Championships, two at the N.A.A.U. Champion- ships and three at the Olympic Trials. The defining moment of Owens’ career came in the 1936 Olympics in Nazi-controlled Berlin, Germany. Owens shattered Hitler’s myth of Aryan supe- riority by winning gold medals in the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, broad jump and as a member of the 4x100-meter relay team. In 1950, the Associated Press named Owens its Track Athlete of the First Half-Century. In 1955, the State Department named him America’s “Ambas- sador of Sports.” Owens toured the world, meeting with government and sports officials and promoting the virtues of amateur sports programs. In 1976, President Gerald Ford presented Owens with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the United States Medal of Freedom. Owens continued to serve his country and amateur sports until his death on March 31, 1980. He is survived by his three daughters, Gloria, Beverly and Marlene. His wife, Ruth, passed away in 2001.

Also known as “The Pride of the Buckeyes,” the band perhaps is best known for the incomparable Script Ohio. Another band tradition of note is the “skull session,” a warmup concert/pep rally in St. John Arena, open to the public before every home football game that allows the band to play and “think through” the show one last time. More than 10,000 fans regularly attend each skull session. cheerleaders Buckeye cheerleaders are a constant source of support at all athletics events. The squad took second at the 2001 College Cheerleading National Championship, its highest finish since winning the 1993 title, and has placed first in the northeast region in 19 of the last 21 years. The squad was 15th at the 2008 national championships. The cheerleaders make appearances all over the state of Ohio throughout the year.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? Ohio State is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, a student-athlete, or their relatives or friends, Ohio State may be subject to penalties, even if the student-athlete has completed his or her eligibility. The prospect or student-athlete who accepts an impermissible benefit jeopardizes his or her eligibility for intercollegiate competition. A booster who provides an impermissible benefit may be disassociated from the university’s athletics program. Disassociation results in a loss of all benefits or privileges offered by the department of athletics and may involve other penalties as appropriate.
