Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
11. MOLLY KOWAL, WOMEN’S SWIMMING
Kowal played a primary role in leading the Ohio State women’s swimming and diving team to its first Big Ten title since 1986. The senior swimmer set a Big Ten championships record in the 1,650-yard freestyle (15:43.17) while she also finished fifth in the 500-yard freestyle and ninth in the 400-yard individual medley.
She qualified for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in all three of her events and was the No. 1 seed in the 1650, putting her in prime position to finish her Ohio State career with a national championship after she finished second at the event at the 2019 NCAA championships. Although she didn’t get that opportunity, she finishes her Buckeye career with a school record in the 1650 and most importantly, helped lead Ohio State to a historic, drought-ending conference championship.
10. ANDREW LOY, MEN’S SWIMMING
Loy tied for the most points among all individual swimmers at this year’s Big Ten championships, winning gold in the 200-yard individual medley and 200-yard freestyle while he was also earned second-place finishes in the 100-yard freestyle, 400-yard freestyle relay, 400-yard medley relay and 800-yard freestyle relay and third place in the 200-yard freestyle relay.
Led by Loy’s efforts, Ohio State’s men’s swimming and diving finished second in the race for this year’s Big Ten team title. He was set to be a top-five seed in both the 200 freestyle and 200 IM at this weekend’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships before they were canceled, but even without them, Loy’s final season as a Buckeye secured his place among the program’s greats.

FAMILY LEGACY. Sometimes, Buckeyes create other Buckeyes.
Lawrence Funderburke helped lead Ohio State to a Big Ten title during his playing days, and now his daughter is going to look to do the same – but in the pool instead of on the court.
Swimmer Nyah Funderburke has verbally committed to Ohio State University, where she will continue a family legacy for the Buckeyes. A rising high school senior, she is expected to join Ohio State for the 2021-2022 season. She won’t have to travel far for college – she’s already a member of the Ohio State Swim Club.
Funderburke’s parents both attended Ohio State, where notably her father Lawrence played the last 3 years of his college basketball career. He led Ohio State to the 1992 Big Ten Championship before going on to an 11-year professional basketball career, including 8 years in the NBA.
Nyah Funderburke is a 3-time Ohio High School Division II State Champion individually, having won titles in 3 different strokes.
I have no idea what my future offspring's Ohio State legacy will be, but I sure hope it's a lot cooler and more impressive than "take five years to graduate before landing a job that requires neither of my degrees."

A “nut” doesn’t fall far from the tree... I am very excited to announce my athletic and academic commitment to The Ohio State University to continue the Buckeye tradition that my parents started! With everything going on, I’m blessed to attend a university with unmatched resources, support, and cultural values right in my own backyard. Endless thank you’s to family, coaches, the team, and most importantly, the Lord for helping guide me through this process. As always, #GOBUCKS
