Luca Fioretto finished tied for third to earn First Team All-American.  Edriss Ndiaye and Paul Veltrup placed in the top 8 to earn Second Team All-American.  The Buckeyes (M&W combined) finished 6th.

From the OSU Athletics website:

In men's saber, first-year Buckeye Luca Fioretto was 18-5 in the preliminary rounds to earn the No. 3 seed and clinch a First Team All-America nod. He fell to Neil Lilov of Penn State in the semifinals, 15-7.

In men's foil, Edriss Ndiaye ended the event in seventh place, going 14-9 in the round robin, moving up from 11th after day one. A three-time NCAA qualifier, he earned his first Second Team All-America accolade after honorable mention recognition in 2023. Justin Vogler, in his trip to the national championships, was 16th after posting 10 wins.  

In men's epee, Paul Veltrup earned a second straight All-America accolade, as he finished seventh to earn a spot on the second team. He was 15-8 in preliminary action in 2024, which marked his second NCAA appearance. Veltrup was a First Team All-American in 2023 after a runner-up finish. Miles Weiss, in his first NCAA trip, posted 10 victories to place 16th.
