Michigan @ Ohio State

Ohio State edged Michigan 20-19 in Columbus, Ohio, on January 26, 2024, as the Buckeyes held on at The Ohio State University in a one-point dual meet decision. The meet was decided by a handful of bonus-point outcomes that swung the team score back and forth through the night.

Michigan piled up bonus scoring in three weight classes. At 125 pounds Michael DeAugustino cruised to a 16-1 technical fall, supplying 5 team points. Dylan Ragusin followed with a 15-6 major decision at 133 for 4 more points, and Austin Gomez added another major decision at 149, 17-6, for an additional 4 points. Those three matches accounted for the bulk of Michigan’s 19-team points and put the Wolverines in striking range.

Ohio State’s clearest answer came at 184 pounds, where Ryder Rogotzke shut out Jaden Bullock 21-0 by technical fall, a 5-point swing that proved decisive in the final tally. With bonus points traded, Rogotzke’s dominant performance provided the margin the Buckeyes needed to finish one point ahead of Michigan.

In a meet defined by high-scoring bonus outcomes rather than narrow decisions, Michigan delivered the flashier offensive output across several bouts, but Ohio State’s key technical fall at 184 ultimately made the difference in a tightly contested Big Ten dual.
