FRAYER NAMED ASSISTANT WRESTLING COACH
Two-time All-America joins the Crimson staff

Cambridge, MA-Jared Frayer, a two-time All-America from the University of Oklahoma, has been named an assistant coach with the Harvard wrestling program. He replaces Bryan Snyder on the Crimson staff.

"We are very excited to have Jared Frayer as a member of our staff," said Harvard head coach Jay Weiss. "He is an accomplished wrestler with big time experience who will help elevate our wrestlers to even higher levels during the upcoming season."

Frayer, a 2002 graduate of Oklahoma with a B.S. in Education, was a four-year starter for the Sooners. He was a four-time NCAA Tournament qualifier, earning All-America honors in 2001 and again in 2002 after reaching the finals. Frayer received the Wade Shalls Award given to the nation's top pinner and is currently second on Oklahoma's all-time pins list and third on the all-time wins list. A two-time Academic All-Big XII, Frayer was also a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Board from 2000-2002.

Frayer was a three-time Florida wrestling champion out of Countryside High School and captured the 1997 Junior National title. He has worked at various camps and is a member of the Dave Schults Wrestling Club.

Harvard finished 25th in the NCAA Tournament last season and returns an All-America and top-ranked wrestler at 149 lbs. in Jessie Jantzen. The Crimson also boasts the #7 recruiting class in the country and will kick off the season at the East Stroudsburg Invitational on Nov. 22. The home schedule opens with a bout against Lehigh on Jan. 21 and also includes matches against Lehigh, East Stroudsburg, Princeton, Penn and Army.
