Ohio State Wins Fifth Big Ten Wrestling Championship in School History, Third in Past Four Years

Ohio State rolled seven wrestlers into the Big Ten semifinals Sunday, and four walked out of East Lansing wearing gold. Nine Buckeyes finished in the top 3 of their respective weight classes, and all 10 punched their ticket to the NCAA tournament in Cleveland.

Ohio State won its fifth Big Ten title in school history, and its third in the past four years. Head coach Tom Ryan was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the third time in four years, and his second Coach of the Year Honor in a row.
