Eastern Michigan University - Winter 2023

Philosophy 109, Chapter 7 Review

Professor Smith, Section 2

June 21, 2023

Some of the more notable Buckeye alumni include Don Perry, the first OSU All-American in

the sport (Trampoline – 1954 – 4th place), brothers Seth and Noah Riskin – co-national

champions (Parallel Bars – 1985 – 1st place), and Mike Racanelli – Ohio State's first Nissen

winner in 1990. Racanelli also went on to win Gymnastic's first Ohio State Male Athlete of

the Year Award that same year, given out annually to the athlete who displays the best

performance in his sport (regardless of grade).

Class Date: 8/11/2024

Professor’s Remark: Please double-check the formatting of your references.

GENERIC CONTENT:

## Background (List)

- Following later in Racanelli's footsteps were other Nissen winners Kip Simons (1994),

Blaine Wilson (1997) and Jamie Natalie (2001).

- Blaine Wilson (1995, 1996, 1997) and Jamie Natalie (2000, 2001) also went on to win Ohio

State Male Athlete of the Year.


- Raj Bhavsar was the only other Men's Gymnast to win Ohio State Athlete of the Year which

he accomplished in 2002.

## Discussion

On the Olympic and World Championship stage, OSU Men's Gymnastics is well represented,

by gymnasts and coaches. The Olympian list includes: Miles Avery (asst coach 1996, 2000,

2004, 2008), Peter Kormann (Athlete in 1976, Head Coach 1996, 2000), Raj Bhavsar (2004,

2008), Jamie Natalie (2000), Gil Pinto (1988), Kip Simons (1994), Blaine Wilson (1996,

2000, 2004) and Alec Yoder (2020). Two gymnasts who trained at the Ohio State facilities

under coach Miles Avery, but were not NCAA Athletes due to eligibility rules, were Paul and

Morgan Hamm – twin brothers from Wisconsin. Paul later went on to win the first ever

Olympic gold medal in the Men's Gymnastics All-Around competition for the United States.

In 2011, Senior co-captain, Brandon Wynn, won his second national championship on rings.

## Findings

Brandon Wynn, Ty Echard, Kris Done and Jeff Treleaven earned All-America honors. In all,

the seven All-America honors tie the second-best single-season performance in program

history and are the most laurels since the 2005 campaign.

## Conclusion

=== Ice hockey ===


The Ohio State men's ice hockey team was established in 1961 and played at the Ohio State

Ice Rink until 1999, when they moved into Value City Arena. The Buckeyes competed in the

Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) through the 2012–2013 season.

## Analysis

After Penn State added men's ice hockey as a Division I sport in 2012, the Big Ten had

enough teams to sponsor its own hockey conference and began play in the 2013–2014

season. The Buckeyes won one conference championship in 1972, the first year of the CCHA,

and won the conference tournament in 1974 and 2004.

## Background

The Buckeyes have made it to the NCAA tournament in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005,

and 2009, and went to the semi-finals in 1998. In 2006, they retired Paul Pooley's #22, the

only number to be retired by the hockey program to date. The Ohio State women's ice

hockey team was started in 1999 and competes in the Western Collegiate Hockey

Association (WCHA).

## Discussion

The Buckeyes have three NCAA postseason appearances, 2018, 2020, and 2022. In their

first, the Buckeyes made it to the Frozen Four before being beaten by the Clarkson Golden

Knights. They received an autobid to the tournament in 2020 after winning the conference

tournament for the first time before COVID-19 cancelled the NCAA tournament.
## Findings

In the 2022 Frozen Four, the Buckeyes defeated the Yale Bulldogs to advance to their first

national championship. In the national championship, the Buckeyes defeated the

Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs by a score of 3–2 to win their first ever national championship.

Notable Buckeye alumni include Olympians Emma Laaksonen, Tessa Bonhomme, and Lisa

Chesson.

## Conclusion

=== Lacrosse ===

=== Volleyball ===

=== Rifle ===

In June, 2013, Ohio State became a charter member of the Patriot Rifle Conference. It was

also announced that the Buckeyes will host the inaugural PRC championship meet on

February 8 & 9, 2014.

## Analysis

The rifle team has made four team and multiple individual appearances at the NCAA Rifle
Championship, with their highest finish being third place in 1991. === Softball ===

The Buckeye softball team has appeared in one Women's College World Series in 1982.

They shared the 1990 Big Ten regular season title and won the 2007 season title outright

along with the 2007 Big Ten Conference softball tournament. === Artistic swimming ===

In the team event, Ohio State has won 32 collegiate championships between 1977, the first

year of the collegiate national championships, and 2019.

## Background

Head coach Mary Jo Ruggieri led the team to 17 wins between 1977 and 1995, and Linda

Lichter-Witter added at least seven more since 1996. Ohio State also has taken at least 61

individual honors in that span, including 11 by Karen and Sarah Josephson.

## Discussion (List)

- Head Coach Holly Vargo-Brown led the team to their 32nd total championship in 2019, the

most of any Ohio State varsity sport.

- In 2024, The Ohio State Synchronized Swim became The Ohio State Artistic Swim Team

because many federations and teams had to change their name from synchronized to

artistic swimming.

- === Tennis ===

The Men's and Women's Varsity Tennis teams have shown success both individually and as

a team.
