In front of a healthy crowd at St. John Arena, Ohio State President Michael Drake, Vice President and Director of Athletics Gene Smith and wrestling head coach Tom Ryan honored the school's first ever wrestling team national championship Saturday. It took 94 years, but it appeared to be well worth the wait.
The trophies were on hand:
