Makiya Montgomery, a 2-time Division 2 state champion in the 100, as well as the 2019 state titlist in the 200, is staying close to home and joining Ohio State following a stellar high school career at Beechcroft.
In addition to the aforementioned state meet triumphs, Montgomery's sprints resume is anchored by a trio of runner-up finishes at Jesse Owens Stadium (200 in 2017, 100 and 200 in 2018). She was also the 4th place finisher in the 400 back in 2017.
MileSplit Ohio reached out to Makiya for her reaction --
"Attending The Ohio State University was a must for me - this is the school I've dreamed of attending since my freshman year!"
