Harvard Wrestling Begins Season

We are about to open up our 2004-2005 season at the East Stroudsburg Open this coming weekend.  I am not sure we have come down from the high of last season with Jesse Jantzen capturing the first NCAA Championship since 1938 and then David Bunning '88 endowing the head wrestling position ensuring that Harvard Wrestling will be here for the long haul.  These are two major milestones so I am wondering what we do for an encore!  We have a young team this year with the possibility of having five freshmen in the starting lineup.  That is exciting for the future of the program.  Co-Captain Max Meltzer '07 and Bobby Latessa '08 are taking this year out of school in order to make us stronger in the later years.  We are reloading for another run at the top prize! 

Wrestling Seeks To Fill Major Holes

 When an NCAA referee last held aloft the arm of a Harvard wrestler, it was the fond, final farewell in the prolific career of Crimson standout Jesse Jantzen ’04, crowning him national champion at 149 pounds and Outstanding Wrestler of the Tournament.
