WATCH KENDALL SHEFFIELD BREAK OHIO STATE'S SCHOOL RECORD IN THE 60-METER DASH
Kendall Sheffield broke Ohio State's school record in the 60-meter dash in just his second meet as a member of the Buckeye track team on Friday night.
Sheffield completed the 60-meter dash in 6.63 seconds, the fastest time in the Big Ten and 14th-fastest time in the NCAA this year, to win the 60-meter final at the Buckeye Tune-Up at Ohio State's French Field House on Friday.
You can watch Sheffield's record-setting run, which topped the previous school record of 6.65 seconds set by Jonathan Burrell in 1995, in the video above.
"It's an amazing accomplishment," Sheffield, who also plays cornerback for the Ohio State football team, told Eleven Warriors after winning Friday's race. "I just give it all to God, and my coaches, Coach Karen (Dennis, Ohio State's head track and field coach) and Joel (Brown, Ohio State's sprinters coach). They push me every day to work on my technique."
Sheffield also recorded the fastest time in the preliminary round of the 60-meter dash, completing the event in 6.69 seconds in his first run of the night.
Sheffield plans to compete in one more meet this season, next week's Big Ten Indoor Championships, before shifting his focus back to preparing for spring football.

TWO-SPORT STAR: OHIO STATE CORNERBACK KENDALL SHEFFIELD SHINING IN STINT ON THE TRACK
While most track and field athletes spend all year priming themselves to perform as best as possible in their specific events, Sheffield spends most of his year priming himself to make plays on the football field. But because sprinting and playing cornerback both require an athlete to run fast, Sheffield says there are aspects of his football training that translate over to excelling on the track.
“I can use the same things as running with a receiver on the '9' route (straight-line route in football) to running the 60 as far as training,” Sheffield told Eleven Warriors after breaking the school record on Friday night.
Excelling on the track is nothing new for Sheffield. During his years at Thurgood Marshall High School in Missouri City, Texas, Sheffield was a state champion in the 300-meter hurdles and a two-time state champion in the 110-meter hurdles, a discipline in which he had the fastest time in the entire country (13.42 seconds) among high school athletes in 2015.
"I’ve been running track since I was seven years old, so there’s always been a love for the sport," Sheffield said.
Sheffield hasn’t allowed his track participation to get in the way of continuing to participate in all of Mickey Marotti’s offseason football strength and conditioning workouts. On Mondays and Wednesdays, however, Sheffield has pulled double duty, working out with Marotti and his football teammates in the morning before attending track practice in the afternoon.
That hasn’t been easy, Sheffield acknowledges.
"It’s very difficult," Sheffield said. "I live in the training room, to keep my legs right."
