COLUMBUS, Ohio - Five members of the 2004 Ohio State wrestling team were  invited to the Columbus Statehouse Tuesday to be honored by the Ohio Senate  for their All-American achievements at the NCAA championship meet in March.  Seniors John Clark, Blake Kaplan, Jeff Ratliff and Tommy Rowlands, and  freshman J.D. Bergman claimed All-America honors in helping Ohio State  solidify a tie for third place at the national meet, the highest team finish  in the history of Buckeye wrestling.    Steve Stiver, Ohio Senate member who represents the 16th district, led the  ceremony as he presented Rowlands, a two-time NCAA heavyweight champion and  four-time All-American, with the first resolution of recognition. Rowlands  not only was recognized for his national achievements, but also his impact  on the Ohio State records book as Stiver, who represents Rowlands' hometown  of Hilliard, Ohio, announced each of heavyweight's career and season  standards. Rowlands is the all-time OSU leader in team points (702),  takedowns (705) and wins with 164.    Stiver also handled the resolution presentation for Clark, a native of  Canton, N.Y. One of just nine two-time All-Americans in OSU annals, Clark  scored fifth place at 165 pounds at the 2004 NCAA's and completed his career  in the Top 4 in Ohio State history in career team points, takedowns and  victories.    Senator Larry Mumper presided over District 26, which includes the hometowns  of Bergman and Ratliff. Mumper assumed the duties of introducing Ratliff, a  149-pounder out of Marion, Ohio, with his resolution after an eighth-place  finish at nationals and a career that included 113 career wins, more than  400 takedowns and nearly 400 career points. Bergman, a product of Oak  Harbor, Ohio, was the lone non-senior in the group and was rewarded for his  six-match win streak that earned third-place at 197 pounds at the national  tournament. Overall, Bergman recorded 32 wins in his freshman season and a  team-best 12 falls.    The last Buckeye to be honored was Cincinnati native Kaplan, who received  his award from Lou Blessing of the 8th district. Kaplan capped his career at  Ohio State with a fifth-place finish at 184 pounds and 42 wins, which ranks  sixth all-time in a single season.    The ceremony was concluded with a brief speech from Ohio State head coach  Russ Hellickson and a address by Jim Jordan, a senator representing the 12th  district and a former wrestler under Hellickson at Wisconsin. Assistants Ken  Ramsey and Mitch Clark also represented the OSU coaching staff.    The ceremony was originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 4, but was pushed  back because Rowlands traveled to Guatemala to compete in the 211-pound  weight class at the 2004 Pan American Championships March 6-7 in preparation  for the U.S. Olympic Trials May 21-23 in Indianapolis. Rowlands emerged from  the Pan Ams with a silver medal, dropping a tight 3-2 decision in the 211  final.    The entire Ohio State team and coaching staff will celebrate the 2004 season  at the annual postseason banquet Saturday at the Blackwell Inn.
