With this performance, Jantzen earned the Fletcher award, given to the wrestler with the most career points in the EIWA tournament. After only two tournaments, Jantzen trailed the record-holder—Princeton’s 184-pound senior—by just three points. Jantzen is only the second junior to ever set the record...
...last tournament, the senior Griffin (8-11) will look to improve on last year’s fifth-place performance. But such an accomplishment will be extremely tough. He has only beaten one conference-ranked wrestler this year, Cornell’s Scott Roth. Like the team, Griffin has improved dramatically as the season has progressed, but still remains inconsistent and has lost several close bouts, including one to Brown’s Chris Ayer’s 6-4 in OT two weeks ago. Lehigh’s No. 3 Troy Letters should win this category, and Cornell?...
...record speaks for itself. Jantzen (24-1), the third-ranked wrestler in the nation, has lost just once this season. It came at the hands of Arizona State’s No. 1 Eric Larkin in the semifinals of the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. Jantzen lost to the No. 2 wrestler in the nation—Minnesota’s Jared Lawrence—during the NCAA tournament last season, where he placed third. This was the best finish for a Harvard wrestler since 1953. Last year’s EIWA champion, Jantzen should have no problem repeating...
...emergence of Mankovich (4-3) as the go-to guy at this weight class has been a bit of a surprise for the Crimson. The team originally expected Odom to fill the spot, but lost him to a shoulder injury incurred during a preseason tournament several Harvard wrestlers participated in. Following Odom was freshman J.T. Young, who was also injured in the early going. Co-captain Nick Picarsic quickly filled the void, but Weiss opted to go with Mankovich, a sophomore, at the weight class after the two split time on the mat. So far this year, Mankovich?...
...place finish in the national tournament will not be easy. Corl (14-8) must make up for his huge size disadvantage, but is aided by a relatively weak weight class. There is just one ranked opponent in the conference, Penn’s No. 8 Matt Feast. Against wrestlers ranked in the conference, Corl—last week’s Athlete of the Week—has gone 0-4. Though the Crimson sophomore has come on strong in recent weeks—becoming the sixth-ranked wrestler in the conference—he will need to have...
