UW track and field: Blog item adds twist to Omole saga

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The University of Wisconsin men put the wraps on another outstanding track and field season Saturday, but coach Ed Nuttycombe says he’s still waiting at the finish line for sprinter Demi Omole.

Nuttycombe said he plans to meet this week with Omole to discuss a Trackshark.com blog item, credited to Omole, which indicated the standout senior was held out of the NCAA meet due to an unspecified “incident at home.”

A UW news release said Omole was academically ineligible. Nuttycombe declined to go into details about Omole’s academic standing, citing privacy laws.
