Remember Kosovo?

Indeed, the Crimson's depth enabled it to take advantage of a revamped scoring system that favored team-wide balance over individual success. Thus, while Penn boasted four individual champions on the weekend, Harvard was able to ride a number of strong showings to victory.
But the biggest coups were scored by Harvard's two individual champions. While Rechul had relatively little trouble taking care of the competition, Picarsic claimed his title in slightly more dramatic fashion, going to overtime against Princeton's Juan Venturi.
In the overtime, Picarsic got a takedown with just 30 seconds left to claim the 13-11 decision. Together, the victories by Picarsic and Rechul marked only the second time in the history of Harvard wrestling that the Crimson has boasted two EIWA champions in the same year.
