COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The race to find Ohio State's fastest student continued Saturday. One point worth noting -- it's not assistant coach Kerry Coombs.

Ohio State held an open scrimmage on the indoor field at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Saturday, which was open to students in what has become an annual spring tradition under Urban Meyer.

One wrinkle this year was a continued attempt to find the fastest student. The Buckeyes previously held tryouts, with the finalists invited back Saturday. The team ran five heats at the end of practice, with an OSU player thrown into the mix in each one. The winners will now race the two fastest Buckeyes -- Dontre Wilson and Devin Smith -- after the spring game at Ohio Stadium next Saturday on April 12.

You can see all five heats in the video at the top of this post. Worth noting:

• The first heat included freshman receiver Johnnie Dixon, who looked like he wasn't going his hardest and was beaten, or nearly beaten, by a student in a Spiderman shirt who moved on to next Saturday's final. For good measure Dixon did a standing backflip after his heat.

• The second heat was won by a student, reported by The Lantern as Mesiah Smith, a receiver on the club football team.

• The third heat included not only linebacker Darron Lee, but Coombs, the assistant secondary coach and a grandfather who got a little bit of a headstart and ran well, but couldn't hold on for the win.

• The winner of the fifth heat had OSU players checking their stopwatches. Senior Malcolm Branson blew away the field to advance to the race at the spring game and may have a chance to give the Buckeyes a run for their money.
