Ohio State Student Radio Career

Sophomore Year
This year started on a very high note as I was given a chance to become part of the football broadcasting crew. I was given a season press pass to attend all of the home games. I was even lucky enough to attend the Purdue game to watch the Buckeyes steamroll the Boilermakers. I was a regular fixture on the Athletic Department Pre-game Show and also was a color commentator for the Northwestern and Illinois games. This year I have also done play by play and analysis for Men’s Hockey and Men’s and Women’s Basketball. I am also the Host/Creator of “3 and Out” an NFL show.

Freshman Year
My freshman year, at the involvement fair, I “got involved.” I signed up, went to the first meeting and was willing to broadcast any sport. I was given my first shot with Women’s Soccer. This year I have been apart of broadcasts for Men’s and Women’s Soccer, Men’s and Women’s basketball, hockey and softball. This includes play by play, color commentary, and hosting pre-game, post-game shows. I was also fortunate enough to broadcast the 2007 Softball Big 10 tournament in Columbus. I have been given a chance to host and create my own show “The 411 on the 513” a Cincinnati sports show. This year has been a lot of fun and I have been given so much opportunity.

Personal

I was born October 2nd 1987 to Ed and Cathy Winkofsky in Centerville Ohio. I have two older brothers Ed and Eric Winkofsky. I attended Incarnation Grade School and Archbishop Alter High School. My favorite sports teams are the Chicago Bears, Bulls, and White Sox. I have been to one Bulls game and I have never attended a Bears game. I have always dreamed of working for a sports franchise and one day I hope to see a Bears game at Soldier Field.

Prior to Ohio State

I played soccer at Alter High School Freshman and Sophomore year. I ran Cross Country and Track in my Junior Year. I was starting Varsity Goalkeeper for Alter in my Senior year. I was Vice President of the Alter Ski Club Junior year and President Senior year. I was stadium announcer for the Varsity Baseball Team my Senior Year. I had no previous radio experience before getting involved at OSU.
