The Buckeyes began the 2015-16 campaign with a number of dominant performances at the Eastern Michigan Open on Saturday. Seven wrestlers won a tournament championship. Johnni DiJulius, Micah Jordan, Cody Burcher, Jake Ryan, Myles Martin, Mark Martin, and Nick Tavanello each won their respective weight classes while three Buckeyes earned runner-up (each to a teammate).
Johnni DiJulius began his senior season with a title at 133 pounds with four wins by decision. While DiJulius didn’t rack up any bonus points, he only yielded three points in four matches and defeated Kent State’s Anthony Tutolo 4-1 in the championship bout.
