FINAL RESULTS

NEW CONCORD, Ohio – Both Otterbein track and field teams finished out the opening month of January at the Muskingum Invitational across a full Saturday afternoon, landing upper-half finishes as units and charting more results leading into the key month of February.

Both sides took sixth place collectively in their respective standings, with upwards of 15 teams taking part altogether.
