Colleges will get the action underway on Friday, April 19th at 4:00pm with the Women's Javelin and Men's Discus. The running events will open Friday also with the Women's 5,000 at 8:00pm under the lights. Saturday's events will start at 10:30am.

Like the "J.O. Classics" of the past, the 2013 edition will serve as a stage for collegiate and post-collegiate athletes to perform at their highest levels in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

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.
