Two of Jesse Owens’ daughters are disappointed to see the tradition of track in Ohio Stadium end.”It’s sad to say good-bye to a time that has come and gone,” Marlene Owens Rankin said. “But we look forward to the new stadium and the new track and seeing new aspiring athletes on that track. We hope to see some that will equal his records and break them.”Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany, still holds Ohio State’s record in the 100-meter dash and the long jump. Because of renovations to Ohio Stadium, the track is being removed, and a new track stadium is being built where the old baseball diamond is located.”He (Jesse Owens) did run in that stadium,” said Marlene Owens Rankin. “And while the composition of the track has changed, the track has not really changed. Things change and they have to, but it’s always kind of nostalgic or bittersweet to say goodbye to what was and move on to the new.”Rankin and her sister, Beverly Owens Prather, said they are not involved in the planning of the new track stadium. They hope to see the plans eventually, but say they trust the athletic department to build a great stadium.”We do know that the track is going to be a wonderful track,” Rankin said. “It will be a state of the art track. And we know that Russ(Rogers) is happy with the track, and if he is happy with it then we are happy with it.””It shows that they care about what he did for Ohio State and what he’s done for mankind,” Prather said. “It’s really quite an honor to have that bestowed upon the family.”Other than attending the Classic each year, Rankin said the family tries to keep up with athletes on the team.”We do know many of the athletes,” Rankin said. “Those who go on to run in the Olympics or something we get to know quite well. We try to keep up with who’s doing what.”Ruth Owens, Jesse’s wife, was not able to attend the 14th annual meet Sunday.”She celebrated her 83 birthday last week,” Rankin said. “She’s doing this less and less and my sisters and I are traveling more and more.”
