51ĀŅĀ×

Two members of the 51ĀŅĀ× wrestling coaching staff have returned to their positions following the closure of an 51ĀŅĀ× (OUPD) investigation that ended with no criminal charges filed.

The coaching staff for OHIO wrestling was put on administration leave in March when OUPD opened a criminal investigation after receiving third-party reports that two 51ĀŅĀ× wrestlers were injured during a practice on March 12. After closing their investigation, OUPD shared a copy of their report with 51ĀŅĀ× Athletics. Separate from the police investigation, 51ĀŅĀ×ā€™s Office of Human Resources conducted an administrative review at the request of the Universityā€™s legal counsel. Athletics leadership is considering both the police report and the administrative review as part of its own departmental review.

At this time, one coach remains on leave, pending completion of the Athletics review.
