Celebrating A Century of NCAA Track & Field Championships
Sink Steepled Into The Record Book
Before Sid Sink of Bowling Green State could win a second steeplechase title at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, he had to contend with a conference rival.
Sink did so both times with NCAA meet records – an achievement he alone can still claim to this day in the men’s event.
In 1970, Sink avenged a Mid-American Conference loss to Jeromee Liebenberg of Western Michigan by winning the NCAA race with a meet record time of 8:40.9, with Liebenberg finishing as runner-up. Track & Field News reported that the event might have been properly called the “waterchase,” and Sink took control in the wet conditions, winning by more than four seconds.
