Harvard had four wrestlers qualify for the nationals: tri-captain Max Meltzer, tri-captain Robbie Preston, sophomore Louis Caputo, and freshman J. P. O’Connor. The Crimson did not disappoint. The team put up historic numbers at the tournament, earning its highest point total ever at nationals (29), and seeing three of its four wrestlers (Meltzer, Caputo and O’Connor) qualify as All-Americans, including the first ever freshman...
