COLUMBUS, Ohio - The celebration of winning individual national titles continues for J Jaggers and Mike Pucillo, members of the Ohio State wrestling team. Jaggers and Pucillo will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, Friday when Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians host the Cincinnati Reds at 7:05 p.m.
Jaggers, an upcoming senior, and Pucillo, a soon-to-be junior, are from Northeast Ohio. An NCAA champion at 141 pounds, Jaggers hails from Northfield and attended St. Peter Chanel High School. Pucillo, the national title winner at 184 pounds, is a native of Strongsville and prepped at Walsh Jesuit High School.
Jaggers and Pucillo became the Buckeyes' first national champions since 2004 and it was the first time since 1993 Ohio State had two individual national champions in the same year. The duo helped the Buckeyes cap a historical season in which they were the NCAA runner-up, the best standing in program history.
