Seniors: Brendan Bibro, James Butera, Dustin DeNunzio, Rob Durbin, Adam Griesemer, Luke Merriner, Lauralee Summer

The team's younger wrestlers seem to model the passion and determination of their older counterparts. Besides his journey to Nationals, Volpe placed at the Midlands Tournament--one of the most prestigious in the nation--in the 177-pound weight class on Dec. 28.

Sophomore Joe Killar won the CKLVI at 158-pounds by pinning the second-ranked wrestler in the nation in his class. And freshman Matt Picarsic gave opponents much to worry about this year and in coming ones after great performances all season and a third place finish at EIWAs.

"Being a part of this year's team was one of the best experiences of my life," Picarsic said. "Reflecting on the year, the team's vast improvement has only made us set our sights even higher for next season. Much in the same way, my experience as a freshman starter will serve as motivation for what I hope develops into a very successful season next year."

But the wrestlers were not the only ones whose hard work captured the attention of their competition. Coach Weiss was awarded the honor of EIWA Coach of the Year, a title voted upon by his peers.

"Coach is fantastic," Butera said. "He is the backbone, not just in terms of wrestling, but in building personality and character."

Weiss has mapped out the path to success, and the entire team has followed his lead. With a promising group of younger faces to replace the team's graduates, the next chapter in the Harvard wrestling saga should only get better.
