The Wolverines swept the four-event meet, which is annually held on the morning of the football game between the same schools.
Michigan dismantled Ohio State 32-0 - it was the first time in the rivalry's short history that there has been a sweep.
The Wolverines' 'A' boat won the frosh race, 5:33.3 to 5:35.71.
The first varsity team won 4:33.82 to 4:42.43, the second varsity team won 4:45.47 to 5:01.39 and the third varsity team won 4:51.44 to 5:08.44.
"This was the first time we've ever swept them so it was good," Michigan coach Greg Hartsuff said. "Varsity is close to getting back on track from a couple weeks ago. Some people underachieved and we've lit some fires."
The spring season does not start for the Wolverines until the last weekend in March, when they will row against Notre Dame and Michigan State.
"They will be good opponents (for the first race)" Hartsuff said.
"They are both weak teams so it will be nice to go out and get one under the belt."

"The loss was a real disappointment," junior defender Brian Peters said.
On Friday night, the Wolverines broke open the scoring against the Cougars in the tenth minute of the second half. But two red cards with 30 minutes to play would doom Michigan. The Cougars capitalized on the undermanned Wolverines, scoring three goals to win the game. Brigham Young would go on to win the championship game on Saturday over Texas Tech.
In Thursday's group play action, the Wolverines split their two games. Michigan outmatched Colorado, 1-0, but lost to the eventual runner-up, Texas Tech, 2-1. Michigan defeated Navy, 1-0, in a must-win game on Friday afternoon to advance out of group play.
Last year, Michigan won the NCSA national championship. The Wolverines were unable to repeat as champions because the NCSA no longer exists.

The meeting is for the official sign up and will last approximately half an hour. Students with moderate, all the way to expert experience on the slopes are welcome. Any key information discussed in the first meeting will be gone over again for newcomers. The team competes against other schools in the Michigan area on the weekends in Northern Michigan and Canada.
Skiers will be racing on giant slalom and slalom courses, but only the top three finishers are scored. For more information on the club, e-mail Bridget Puchalsky at bpuchals@engin. umich.edu or Seth Strote at sstrote@umich.edu.
