Camp Director Jay Weiss

  • Harvard University Head Coach
  • Coach Weiss was EIWA Coach of the Year in 1998 and 2001 and has elevated the Crimson to one of the top programs in the East.
  • Prior to his arrival in Cambridge, no Harvard wrestling team had ever won an EIWA or Ivy League championship. Weiss orchestrated an amazing turnaround, quickly constructing a program whose teams perennially challenge for the top spot in the League.
  • In 2004, Jesse Jantzen ’04 became only the second Crimson Wrestler to win an NCAA Championship and first since 1938. Jesse was also named Outstanding Wrestler.
  • In 2007, Weiss’ Harvard team came back with three All-Americans from the NCAA tournament: a first for Harvard University!
  • In 2010, JP O’Connor finished his senior season as an undefeated (35-0) NCAA Champion.
  • In his tenure here in Cambridge, he has coached 17 NCAA All-Americans and 2 NCAA Champions.
J.P. O’Connor

  • 2010 NCAA Champion for Harvard
  • Three-time NCAA All-American
  • O’Connor completed his career at Harvard with a record of 132-16, ranking him first in career wins and second in career winning percentage (.892).
  • He is one of only two wrestlers in Harvard history to earn all-America status three times and became the first Harvard freshman to do so in 2007 with his fifth-place finish at nationals.
  • O’Connor is also the only two-time Ivy League Wrestler of the Year in Crimson annals and was a two-time team captain.
