After competing for Ohio State herself and assisting Karen Dennis for a decade, Rosalind Joseph calls it “a dream come true“ to succeed Dennis as OSU’s director of track and field.
“This is a dream come true,” Joseph said Wednesday at her introductory press conference. “The main reason that I chose The Ohio State University is because I felt like I could do anything here. That was my sentiment coming here as a student-athlete. And so to come full circle and feel like I wanted to be in this profession, and now be able to do it here, it really just solidifies that first thought my first time on campus that this is a place where you can do anything.
“I think initially it's a scary thought, because those are huge shoes to fill,” Joseph said. “But after a lot of thought, it would be for anyone in the country. I'm very confident that anybody that walked in would have to fill those shoes. And so I like to say I know the designer, at least … Just to be able to watch and be a part of it, I really do feel poised to take the baton and continue that legacy.
As of Wednesday, Joseph said she had not yet decided whether she would retain Dennis’ assistant coaches or replace them with new assistant coaches. She said she is planning to talk to Ohio State’s administration about upgrading the indoor facility for track and field, as she believes the Buckeyes – who have been competing in the French Field House since 1956, though it was renovated in 2009 – have fallen behind in that regard.
