Though it is no small feat being ranked No. 1 in the EIWA at 165-pounds and in the top ten nationally, Killar makes it all seem easy. The phenomenal Killar was an EIWA champion last year and earned All-American accolades with a sixth place finish at NCAAs--despite missing the dual meet season due to injury. His leadership and experience are a critical part of this year's team.

To say that the return of Mosley is a major addition to the Crimson line-up at 174-pounds is an understatement. Also nationally ranked and No. 1 in the EIWA, Mosley is the definition of dominance. He is a three-time NCAA qualifier and has already gotten off to a terrific start with an easy sweep at the Ivy Tournament. Joining Killar as co-captain, Mosley's presence on-and-off the mats is a huge asset to this team.

With top wrestler Fran Volpe taking a leave of absence, the Crimson will look towards freshmen Reggie Lee and Patrick O'Donnell to take charge of the 184-pound class. Lee, a Washington State High School champ, made a strong collegiate debut, with a solid fourth place finish on Sunday. O'Donnell, the Pennsylvania State High School champ, also had a successful start, taking 3rd place in the 174-lb weight class, which he will compete in as well.

With an NCAA tournament under his belt, a second place in the EIWA and a 15-8 record good for Honorable Mention All-Ivy Honors, junior Brad Soltis looks to continue his winning ways at 197-pounds. Ranked No. 1 in the EIWA, he will be a dominate force in matches both within and outside the conference. After seeing limited match time at 184-pounds last year, sophomore David Dinin will join Soltis in this class.

Sophomore heavyweight standout Dawid Rechul is coming off a remarkable rookie performance, capped off by a 23-12 record and a sixth place finish at EIWAs. Finishing fourth this past weekend that included a close battle with Penn's All-American Bandele Adenyi-Bada, Rechul has shown that he is a force to be reckoned with. Freshman Joseph Linhart will also represent Harvard in the heavyweight division.

Altogether, this talented group of individuals collectively forms a team in perfect keeping with Coach Weiss' tradition of excellence. The Crimson will spend the first half of the season competing in tournaments all over the country, facing some of the nation's finest teams. Beginning in late January, the dual meet portion of the season will begin.

Defending EIWA champion Penn, and Cornell, remain the Crimson's biggest rivals and best competition. All three teams are pretty well matched putting this year's championship up for grabs.

If Harvard performs up to its potential, it should be in the title hunt to the very end, with its individual wrestlers continuing to distinguish themselves on the national scene.
