The Harvard wrestling team monopolized the East Stroudsburg (Penn.) Tournament, claiming four of the 10 individual championship titles, two third place and one fourth place finish.

It was a dominating performance coming on the heels of Harvard's third place finish at the Ivy Classic.

"I haven't come out of many other tournaments or matches feeling this good," Harvard Coach Jay Weiss said. "They were intense, aggressive, and very physical, which is something I've been working towards for years."

"We just focus on improving each week and not making the same mistakes," co-captain Joey Killar said.

Killar, along with co-captain Ed Mosley, senior Tom Kiler, and freshman Max Odom all led the Crimson charge by capturing first place in their respective divisions. Senior Nate Ackerman and junior Brad Soltis grappled to third place positions, and sophomore Dawid Rechul's efforts earned him fourth.

"As a team we did really well overall," Kiler said. "Everyone looked pretty good."

At 149-pounds, Odom hasn't needed much of an adjustment period. He has only wrestled in two collegiate tournaments so far and has already won accolades in both, taking third at the Ivy Classic and first this past weekend. His run on Saturday began with a technical fall at 5:29 in the match, followed by a pair of wins over Aaron Gilson of University of North Carolina and Eric Narkiewicz of Penn State with scores of 3-2 and 6-0, respectively. Odom won the semis with a major decision score of 14-4 over Blair's Joe Barchetto before going on to pin opponent Harley Anderson from Penn State at 3:53 to take the championship.

"Max didn't give up a takedown the whole tournament," Weiss said. "He is a tough wrestler and can do amazing things."
