Ohio State wins their first ever NCAA Championship in wrestling, becoming just the ninth school to take top honors in Division I history.
In one of the most cloudy, and thus, anticipated, team races in recent memory. The much heralded Buckeye freshmen lived up to expectations with three Top 3 finishes to compliment their legendary leader, Logan Stieber, who became just the fourth wrestler to win four individual titles.
The 5th, perhaps most improbable and equally important Buckeye All American came from Kenny Courts. A star recruit coming out of high school, this type of performance was what tOSU fans have been expecting. And it couldn't have come at a better time.
Congrats, Buckeyes!
