It was a great win for Wyant, and an excellent precursor to his grudge match with Princeton's Peter Yik this Sunday. Yik eliminated Wyant last year from nationals.
How many other members of Harvard's 41 varsity sports have similar moments of greatness, with nobody but their own teammates around to applaud and congratulate.
In truth, the Murr Center will be packed this weekend, but only with a broader circle of squash players, namely regional high school players and other swatters.
But not me. I've never so much as touched a squash racquet. My usual beat, men's hockey, has the weekend off thanks to aftermath of the Vermont hazing scandal so I just might snake down to the Murr Center to cheer on Wyant.
And I promise to find another obscure sport to pick on.
