Ohio State wrestling made an early-season statement – and got $200,000 richer in the process.
The Buckeyes claimed the grand prize at the inaugural National Duals Invitational with a dominant run through the bracket that included lopsided wins over two teams ranked in the top three nationally.
Ohio State cruised through Saturday’s first two rounds of the tournament with a 33-6 win over No. 24 Wyoming and a 29-6 win over No. 9 Minnesota.
The Buckeyes followed that up on Sunday morning with an even more dominant performance against No. 2 Nebraska, earning a 33-3 win over the Cornhuskers.
