...Corey Jantzen, returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for almost a month, put up the most impressive performance for Harvard. Wrestling as the eighth seed at 141 lb., Jantzen blazed through the first two rounds by notching two major decisions before facing top seed Alex Tsirtsis of Iowa, eventually defeating him in an 8-3 win.
