Spring Sports Recap: T&F to race to NCAAs this week, men’s golf falls in semis, more

The men’s golf season and women’s rowing seasons ended in dramatic fashion, while track & field gears up for their last meet.
Most of the spring sports seasons have wrapped, with a few coming to a close in the last week and just a handful of stragglers still in postseason contention. Read on for the latest updates on men’s golf, track & field, and rowing, plus a few ad hoc news updates!
The men’s golf season came to a nail-biting end in the semifinals with the Buckeyes taking third place, their best finish to a season since they won the title in 1979.
The Buckeyes defeated the No. 2-ranked Vanderbilt in the quarterfinals before falling to the top-ranked team in the country, No. 1 Auburn, in a match that wasn’t decided until the 21st hole of the final match.
Against Vanderbilt, seniors Jackson Chandler, Neal Shipley, and Adam Wallin won their matches to advance the Buckeyes. When Wallin won his match (the last point needed to send the Buckeyes through), redshirt freshman Tyler Sabo was holding his own, forcing his own match into extra holes against the No. 15 amateur in the world. They would end tied as the Buckeyes earned the necessary points to advance.
Against Auburn, senior Maxwell Moldovan ended his career with a win, never trailing after the fourth hole. It was a fitting way to end a career that fills the school’s record books. Moldovan leaves with the lowest scoring average in OSU history (71.25), as well as the most career rounds at par or better (86) and most career rounds with scores in the 60s (48).
Tyler Sabo also won his match, while Chandler and Shipley fell. With the match tied at 2-2, it came down to Wallin’s match, which took 21 holes to decide.
The excitement was fitting, as the outgoing seniors have largely breathed new life into the golf program. While the results aren’t what they wanted, it marked the end of the school’s most successful season in 35 years, far surpassing expectations heading into the tournament.
The Buckeye track & field team is preparing to compete in the NCAA Championships, which begin this Wednesday, June 5 at the University of Oregon. The Buckeyes will have two men’s entries and seven women’s entries.
Aniya Mosley will compete in the women’s 800m after breaking the program record and finishing sixth overall in the NCAA East First Round meet.
Leah Bertrand, Nya Bussey, and Fatouma Conde will compete in multiple events, with Bertrand and Bussey running the 100m before being joined by Marcia Sey and Conde in the 4x100m relay. Conde will then be joined by Chanler Robinson, Columba Effiong, and Bryannia Murphy in the 4x400m relay.
Janela Spencer moves on in the 100m hurdles, while Faith Bender will compete in the discus competition.
On the men’s side, Reign Wilson cleared a personal best 2.17m / 7’1.5” at the NCAA East First Round meet to move on in the high jump. Hayden Tobias will compete in the shot put.
The NCAA Championships can be watched on ESPN2.
The women’s rowing team wrapped up their season with a 12th-place finish in the 2024 NCAA Championships, with 68 total points after three days of racing in Bethel, Ohio. It was their 24th appearance in the Championships. Texas took the title with 130 points, their third in the last four years.

The women earned two top-12 finishes with petite final appearances, with both the first varsity eight (1V8) and second varsity eight (2V8) boats finishing 5th in the petite finals and 11th overall. Both teams beat their seed.
They had the second-best finish of the Big Ten teams competing in the Championships, behind only Michigan who finished seventh.
