It was a clean sweep for the Buckeyes in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Pittsburgh. Five wrestlers entered PPG Paints Arena hoping to secure a second, third or fourth All-America finish, and five wrestlers left the mat victorious.
Luke Pletcher got the day off to a good start for a Buckeye team grappling with the likes of Iowa and Oklahoma State for second place in the team standings. Pletcher is the only member of Ohio State's veteran quintet not to earn a top-2 seed to the tournament, but he performed well out of the 5 spot at 133 pounds.
