Other Sports
The Track and Field and Cross Country teams are consistently strong contenders in the Horizon League. The women's team has won five of the last six Horizon League Track and Field Championships.
Also notable are the baseball and softball teams. In 2004, despite having a losing record, the baseball team won the Horizon League tournament and went to the NCAA Tournament for the first time. The softball team followed this feat two years later by also winning the Horizon League tournament and qualifying for the NCAA Regional Softball Tournament.
The Penguins' primary athletic facilities are Stambaugh Stadium (football and soccer) and the Beeghly Center (basketball, swimming, and volleyball). Horizon League track and field events will soon be held at the new Watson and Tressel Training Site ("The WATTS") located next to Stambaugh Stadium. The WATTS is expected to be completed within the current (2011-12) academic year.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“...I didn’t come to this with any particular cachet. I was just a person who grew up in the United States. And when I looked around at the people who were sportscasters, I thought they were just people who grew up in the United States, too. So I thought, Why can’t a woman do it? I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 85 (June 17, 1991)
“In the end, I think you really only get as far as you’re allowed to get.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
