The EIWA head coaches have voted to name Jesse Jantzen of Harvard
as EIWA Wrestler of the Year.
Jantzen was a four time EIWA finalist and won his third EIWA title
at 149 pounds two weeks ago. He followed that up this past weekend
by winning an NCAA title at St Louis and being named Outstanding
Wrestler of the tournament. He compiled a record of 39-1 on the
season, with his only loss coming up a weight at 157 to Alex Tirapelle
of Illinois.
Ogunwole
Named EIWA Freshman of the Year
Harvard freshman Bode Ogunwole has been named EIWA Freshman
Wrestler of the Year by the EIWA coaches.
Ogunwole took over the starting role at heavyweight in mid-season
when Jonas Corl was injured. He improved rapidly and placed
third at the EIWA Tournament, earning an automatic bid to the
NCAA Championships. He won his first two bouts at Nationals
when he defeated both the #9 and #8 seeds. In the quarterfinals,
he gave eventual champion Tommy Rowlands of Ohio State all he
could handle, scoring the first takedown before falling 8-6.
He finished the tournament just one bout short of All-American
status
